Disambiguation link notification for August 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Whom Gods Destroy (Star Trek: The Original Series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Caeser (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.

• Re: Anglade in the 2015 Thalys train attack article. I am not currently working at WP:Dispute resolution, but I am happy to share with you my perspective on the problem. First and foremost it is very difficult for many editors to understand that the Misplaced Pages is not about "correctness", but instead it is about information that is verifiable in reliable sources. (In this case, just drop the word "correctness" and stick to sources.) Articles are not about miscellaneous information. See WP:What Misplaced Pages is not. Articles are intended to present and preserve information about things that are important. WP:Notability has become the measure of that importance. Articles must be balanced. This means that not only should they be written from a neutral point of view but they should not give undue weight to any particular facet of a topic. One way to help achieve balance when creating or editing articles on Misplaced Pages is to focus on why the topic, in this case the event, is important. Where does this event fit in the historical continuum? What is it about this event that makes it special or remarkable? When I do that for this event I find that the names of witnesses or the injured are not important. Even the names of the passengers who did the take-down don't rate highly in importance. Certainly other non-related information about someone who happened to be there and happened to talk to the press would not really be appropriate for this article. See WP:INDISCRIMINATE. You might read the very brief essay at WP:Balance Your Perspectives written in 2008 by a former editor. --Bejnar (talk) 20:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Who on earth is Versus?

Sandra, before you make aspersions against other editors, in edit reasons and on admin talk pages, you should be pretty sure of what you are saying. I don't even know who 'Versus' is and an admin check will reveal that I have never interacted with 'V'. Unfounded accusations won't add to your credibility.Pincrete (talk) 20:26, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

You made an accusation that I was the only editor supporting one kind of edit but this is not true. However, I am sorry to have linked you to Versus. Versus is a banned editor who was edit warring in the train article about the very same thing you are arguing for. Sandra opposed to terrorism (talk) 20:29, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

I've opened a section on talk, because we should let others 'wade in', I'm afraid I don't understand the purpose of your edits beyond trying to include 'the wounded man', why not mention the catering staff or the train driver in that list or … several others who are mentioned by name but who are clearly uninvolved with the central incident. So far honoured/ not yet honoured makes some sense, until the matter is settled.Pincrete (talk) 21:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Sandra, the DRN has been closed, you can't re-open it by adding my name and you are supposed to formally notify me (I don't care about that, but the DRN does). There is a discussion on talk, why not present your arguments there? If you don't, the DRN will take a very dim view of your behaviour and think you are wasting its time.Pincrete (talk) 22:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

Your case at dispute resolution has been filed, but has had a general close because you did not list other users/parties that were involved in the dispute, feel free to relist the case when you have listed and notified all parties involved, thank you. RMS52 20:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC) ok, but user friendly behaviour would be to keep it open

Disputed tag

Please read the instructions for how to use {{disputed}}. As it is, when you click on "See the relevant discussion on the talk page." it goes nowhere. I can't tell looking at the talk page where a dispute is taking place as there are many disputes taking place. -- GreenC 21:13, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, I'm removing the tag given the above closure. -- GreenC 21:15, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
