[edit] Piping nationality links
Firstly, welcome from me too! Please check out the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board.
I notice that you have been piping nationality links to the "X people" articles, eg. [[Scottish people|Scottish]]. Having worked on thousands of biography articles, I can say without hesitation that the overwhelming consensus is to pipe thus:
- [[Scotland|Scottish]]
- [[France|French]]
- [[United States|American]]
- [[Mexico|Mexican]]
- [[Sweden|Swedish]]
- etc.
If this is doubted in any way, perhaps we could consult the good folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography? (Apart from anything else, those "X people" articles are utterly, utterly appalling rubbish in my experience: full of POV, edit warring, AFD's and many other such delights: probably because they tend to focus on pseudo-ethnicity theories, rather than civil society, which is the strength of the country articles.) --Mais oui! 16:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
