Image:Information.svg Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to East African Airways destinations does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Jetstreamer Talk 21:40, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Do you have any idea where Moshi is?
It's in Tanzania. So, it makes no sense to have a "Moshi, Kilimanjaro" article. Geez. 70.253.95.92 (talk) 03:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, one Moshi is in the Kilimanjaro region in Tanzania. Another Moshi is in India. If you search for "Moshi" on Wikipedia, you should be able to easily find both of them. Don't you agree? Further thoughts can be expressed at Talk:Moshi. Taylor Strand (talk) 21:43, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
intentional links to disambiguation pages
It matters little whether you like a guideline, but you really should not deliberately edit against an established guideline. older ≠ wiser 20:30, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
:I don't. Taylor Strand (talk) 20:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
::Apparently you haven't read the guideline very carefully. Is there something about WP:HOWTODAB that is not clear? {{quote|To link to a disambiguation page (rather than to a page whose topic is a specific meaning), link to the title that includes the text {{nowrap|"(disambiguation)"}}, even if that is a redirect—for example, link to the redirect America (disambiguation) rather than the target page at "America".}}
::Please stop. older ≠ wiser 20:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Please stop yourself. Links should NEVER deliberately go to a redirect page. This is a more fundamental rule. You are missinterpreting the rule you are reffering to. It means the link should show that it goes to a disambiguation page, but it should not be read as if the link itself should go there. Taylor Strand (talk) 20:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
::::As I mentioned on my talk page, you are mistaken in that there is no such "more fundamental" rule against linking to redirects on Wikipedia. In fact, besides the well-established disambiguation guideline, there is WP:NOTBROKEN. If you think I am misinterpreting the rule, you could raise the question at WT:Disambiguation (or really at just about any of the WP:Village pumps). older ≠ wiser 20:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::Or you could raise it there. You are the one warring about it. Taylor Strand (talk) 20:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
::::::You are the one who is changing the correct form to something that is explicitly contrary to guidelines. There is NO guideline against linking through redirects. I challenge you to find something in the guidelines that even remotely supports your claim. older ≠ wiser 20:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Have time on Saturday?
I'm sorry for the last-minute notice, but on Saturday, June 8, from 3 to 6 PM, Wikimedia DC and the Cato Institute are hosting a Legislative Data Meetup. We will discuss the work done so far by WikiProject U.S. Federal Government Legislative Data to put data from Congress onto Wikipedia, as well as what more needs to be done. If you have ideas you'd like to contribute, or if you're just curious and feel like meeting up with other Wikipedians, you are welcome to come! Be sure to RSVP here if you're interested.
I hope to see you there!
