Disambiguation link notification for December 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Williamsburg and National Guard (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.

Notability and your articles

Hello DocumentError,

As an "aggressive deletionist", can you explain how Andrew Hughes (attorney) and Doug Cloud comply with our notabilty guideline for politicians? Thank you. Cullen Let's discuss it 05:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes. DocumentError (talk) 06:03, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Please do so, then. Thank you. Cullen Let's discuss it 15:42, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

First, unrelated to your question, I should note the articles have been reviewed by other editors. As to your request, with no intent to evade it, you will appreciate if it is not practical for me to individually respond to notability questions about articles as this would set a precedent that would lead to an impossibly time consuming redundancy. However, I absolutely welcome the nomination of either, or both, articles for deletion if you feel they are not notable and would be happy to respond to notability questions in that, the more appropriate and efficient forum. Thanks, Cullen! DocumentError (talk) 17:54, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Your question

Regarding your question here, if you want to help welcome and educate these two dozen new collaborators, please read User:Davidwr/Tsinghua, User talk:Davidwr/Tsinghua, and Misplaced Pages:Education noticeboard/Incidents/Archive1#Group of New/Newish Editors Creating/Editing pages about companies. I'm not sure which of the two discussion pages will wind up being the central location to help bring these people "into the fold." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 08:30, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I don't have the wherewithal to educate anyone, I primarily wanted to observe for benefit of my own edification. Thank you kindly for pointing me in the right direction. DocumentError (talk) 17:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Aggressive deletionist

Hello there. After reading your statement of purpose, I have to suggest you get accustomed with the inclusionism principles and with the concept of balance. Misplaced Pages is the wrong place for aggressive behavior. While the average American doesn't know where NH is, let alone its population census, the rest of the planet doesn't care about either so it is irrelevant as a metric. Happy Holidays.--Codrin.B (talk) 15:33, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Codrin.B. I kindly ask you not use my Talk page as a forum to make biggoted jokes. As for the rest of your comment: I think it's great WP users tolerate and respect a diverse rainbow of edit philosophies and I join the vast majority of WP users in that spirit. I hope you will make the choice to do so as well. Thank you! DocumentError (talk) 17:43, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
