You appear to be misinterpreting the disambiguation guidelines. They say that (play) should not be required if it is redundant (i.e., if there is no possibility of confusing it with another work by the same author). It is only not redundant if an author, for example, wrote a novel and then adapted it as a play, or vice versa. The Liar (Goldoni) is the standard form used throughout the Wikiproject Theatre pages. ] (]) 16:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC) You appear to be misinterpreting the disambiguation guidelines.

: Thanks for the reply. It was more for your information, since every other play, etc. disambiguation I've come across uses the form I describe. I don't think it's different sets of guidelines at work, more an ambiguous phrasing in the guide that doesn't make the standard form clear. Since the Fry seems to be the only novel, though, (novel) would be the standard. kind regards, ] (]) 12:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Please do not delete <marquee >PERSONAL ATTACKZZZ!!!</marquee> from the Steven Wells pages, IP4 space is limited and we can only allow poor old user:Mikerichi just so much of it 8-) Andy Dingley (talk) 21:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Good idea to archive the notability stuff from the Swells page. Any ideas on how to go about dealing with some blatant sock puppetry? Not that I'm directing that at any individual in particular, mind...FrFintonStack (talk) 00:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation

You appear to be misinterpreting the disambiguation guidelines. They say that (play) should not be required if it is redundant (i.e., if there is no possibility of confusing it with another work by the same author). It is only not redundant if an author, for example, wrote a novel and then adapted it as a play, or vice versa. The Liar (Goldoni) is the standard form used throughout the Wikiproject Theatre pages.
