Somebody who types in the word head will now actually get a description of the head. Hurray! Death to intrusive disambiguations!

The rationale for this was the observation that quite a lot of internal links to ] (formerly a disambiguation page) were in an anatomical context. Actually if I were doing it again I'd probably recommend that ] be moved to ], because well over 90% of all internal links to ] turned out to be anatomical, but I've done the work now and I'm not in a hurry to revert it all.

==]==
The majority of references to ] were to the American name of the season, so I did the sensible thing. People unfamiliar with the American usage can now click on the link and be told it's ] for ].

Misplaced Pages lacked a proper article on ], so I have stubbed one.

==]==
This now redirects to ] which contains adequate disambiguation for the more specific British usage.

==]==
Disengaging from this because the situation seems stable and I frankly cannot understand the point of view of the anti-photo people.

Went back because the page was briefly protected when someone wanted to edit it. Interesting discussions. Good for the project, I think. Basic issues are being thrashed out.

==]==

Most links seem to refer to the sheep. A difficult one, since the only current relevant article is ]. I decided to insert a disambiguation note on ] explaining that ] redirects there and pointing people to ] for other meanings. ] now points directly to ].

==]==
This is now a redirect to primary topic disambiguation on ]. Just about all internal links to ] were in the context of Winston as war leader or writer.

==]==
I disambiguated two or three references to ]. The remainder of the internal references to ] seemed to be references to ]. Another case for primary topic disambiguation.

==]==
This article, initially an intemperate rant, was NPOV'd under ] so as to avoid unpleasantness from Wollmann's many followers. And ''then'' it was listed for deletion. All part of the service.

My user page, talk and subpage layout were ripped off from various places, particularly Andrevan's page (and his talk page), and Jimbo Wales' page. Most of the template work is mine. RoyBoy fixed the current incarnation of the top navigation, which used to be 800x600-busting.
