Hello Steel1943,
I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages.
The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.
If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.
If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.
Thank you for your consideration.

Could you please move " Ballad for Americans (album)" back to " Ballad for Americans (Bing Crosby album)"? You thought that was "unnecessary disambiguation". But it was Paul Robeson who originally released the cantata as an album (a two-record set) and I think his version is more famous. (There's no article about that original album yet.) And redirect " Ballad for Americans (album)" to simply " Ballad for Americans". -- Moscow Connection ( talk) 03:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Just to note that as per the two pages linked from Wikipedia:MONOTYPICTAXA, articles about a species which is the only one in its genus, as is the case with × Tripleurocota sulfurea, are at the genus (unless this needs to be disambiguated). Peter coxhead ( talk) 10:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
If a genus has only one species, then if there is an article on the genus and an article on the species there's really nothing different to say in each one.: What I mean by that is ... at some point during some edits I have recently been performing, I found an article titled the genus but the article in its entirety described the species, which I found odd. I mean, in that case, I would believe the genus subject would have WP:REDLINK potential since it is/was not identified anywhere other than a brief mention on an article with the genus as a title, but the article is only about its only species. Meh, this policy of ours can potential cause article connection issues on Wikidata since it could lead to Wikidata claiming an article about the genus on one Wikipedia discusses the same subject of another article on another Wikipedia, but that article is about the species. (I know the English Wikipedia tends to give local policy over fixing Wikidata issues, and I could have sworn that was written somewhere in the project space, so it is what it is.) Long story short, I've been editing regularly since about 2012, and ... this is the first time I can recall running into needing to know this article titling policy at any point during my time here ... which is a bit of a surprise for me since a good portion of the edits I do on here tend to be regarding titling articles per WP:PRECISE and WP:CONCISE in terms of disambiguation (besides my regular WP:RFD participation ... and whatever other redundant fixes I find that several articles tend to need.) Anyways, that's all I got for now, so ... as they say: Cheers! Steel1943 ( talk) 20:01, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey, not sure if you know this, but I've found intitle:/a\(/
(
example; replace the letter to find more) which is useful to find redirects that don't have a space before the disambiguation.

Hello, Steel1943,
Thank you for creating Brother's Keeper (2021 film).
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Hi Steel1943. The article as it stands is borderline for meeting WP:NFILM and would really need to be expanded with additional WP:RS sources to demonstrate notability. It would benefit from an explanation of the plot, and the addition of a 'Reception' section. It would also benefit from addition to relevant Wikiprojects.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Bastun}}
. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the
Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hey Steel! Thank you for your nominations at RfD by the way. I've been curious for a while if you've been working off of a list (from Quarry or somewhere else) in order to identify the redirects that make errors in disambiguation. I've ran a few tests of my own and found a slew of pages with disambiguation errors, although I haven't really bitten deeper into that chunk for a few reasons, mainly because my focus has been elsewhere and I wanted to confer alongside your efforts. I guess the main thing I'm wondering is if you've been working off a list, and/or how far through are you those nominations, and/or what criteria have you been using to make the list? Thanks, Utopes ( talk / cont) 02:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
The article E129 (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Invalid and unnecessary disambiguation page containing the primary topic and only one other topic.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Searching it on wikipedia counts it as an article and not a redirect due to its status as rfD. -1ctinus📝 🗨 11:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Re your revert, Steel1943. A merge had been completed by me sometime ago. An article on Adult fiction would duplicate most of the already existing [[Fiction]] article. I have now added a sentence to the lede of that article, and am considering whether more is needed. I probably should have done this at the time of the merging! Sorry.

Hello Steel1943, I'm not sure of the etiquette here but I saw the closed RfD for Candidates for the first novel and I thought List of claimed first novels in English was almost certainly the information someone would be looking for with that query (as opposed to Novel#Early novels). I changed the redirect myself, which I think is a find "bold" edit but I wanted to let you know in case you disagreed or in case there is a process I should follow in the context of RfD which I am not aware. Thanks for your cleanup work! ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 18:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
