Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions.

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited Pak Hon-yong, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Korean (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

British or Welsh?

A slightly false distinction, obviously, as one can be both. But perhaps you could tell us what these categories mean and why we use them for Tom Jones:

Why is Ruth Jones given a Nationality of British and an Ethnicity of Welsh, but Tom Jones not? Do you intend to go and "correct" all of these: Category:Welsh female singers and these Category:Welsh male singers too, because "Wales is not an independent Nation"? Or have you just singled out Tom Jones for special attention? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Or do you plan to change the articles for all people currently described as "English" to read "Nationality: British, Ethniciity: English"? What claim can be made that England is an "independent nation" in any way that Wales is not? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:11, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

AE

Hi Alssa1. I think AE is being misused quite a bit at the moment. It's not the right way to settle content disputes. Do you want me to open up a discussion on the talk page ]? That might be a better way to discuss what term to use, and will also be a reference for anyone looking at the article. Regards. --Flexdream (talk) 13:53, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
