[edit] FAB!
Hi, Regarding the use of this term; I removed it from the FAB disambig page, as it was already in the list.
It's also better to link directly to an article, rather than relying on disambiguation pages or redirects. So (e.g.) rather than [[FAB]] which appears as FAB, you can say [[alcopop|FAB]] (as alcopop is the thing we're referring to, albeit under the name of our choice). This too appears as FAB, but you'll notice the link is different.
All the best,

- As I mentioned, you can call it anything you like and still link it to the relevant article;
- [[alcopop|Posh Upmarket Lemonade Stuff]]
- gives
- If you think the main title for alcopop should be different, that's another kettle of fish. Personally, I'd oppose that; although "alcopop" is a slightly loaded term, it's by far the most common and "Flavoured Alcoholic Beverage" smacks of industry-only jargon (I've *never* heard it used outside Wikipedia), or of changing the perception of a product by referring to it differently. If and when the latter becomes more common, the article name should be changed, but until then I think "alcopop" is the best term.
- But as I said, you can link to it using any phrase you feel appropriate. Fourohfour 16:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Two things.
Firstly, when you create an article for a location, you should say where the location is. The Manchester Fort article, for instance, should say in the very first sentence that it is located in Manchester, England.
Second, and less important, I don't suppose you could create a user page for yourself, could you? Because as long as it goes uncreated, every time I see your name on the New Articles page with a redlink, it triggers my "possible new user; check contributions extra-carefully to make sure it's not a vandal making worthless crap" reflex.

[edit] East Timor / Timor-Leste
Hello,
I moved it back for two reasons: there were a lot of unfixed double-redirects, and also you added extraneous spaces around the hyphen: "Timor - Leste".
Otherwise, this might be a legitimate move, as per Côte d'Ivoire, but maybe it should be proposed at Wikipedia:Requested moves first to allow others to express their opinions and discuss and vote. -- Curps 16:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Selfish request
I don't suppose you could take a few minutes and create a userpage for yourself? It would make New Page patrol somewhat easier, since your name is currently redlinked, which triggers my "possible new user, possible vandal - better check his edits extra carefully" reflex. DS 14:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC) Yeah have started it, will ahve to come back to it laterDJ HEAVEN 10:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page moves
If you're still active, I noticed that you moved material from The Hits Album to Hits (compilation series). This created a dupe article, and did not acknowledge the history of the material (your name is first on the list for the latter article, but you didn't write the material).
Can you please use the "move" tab at the top of the page if you wish to move a page (which you seem to have intend here). If you wish to copy material, but not whole articles, then please acknowledge the source. Thanks!
