[edit] Community Radio
The "Community Radio" list of definitions are all redlinks. Shall we delete that from the article? -- Mikeblas 17:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- If nobody objects, I'll drop this link and perform the merge next weekend. -- Mikeblas 19:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
- Support. Many dab pages have all variations on a single page. In the case of this one, where Strings in music is a different concept, you can make it a separate "Strings can mean:" section. -JCBarr (can't believe I didn't sign this) -Jcbarr 00:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support. --FocalPoint 20:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Strongly Support - considering that not only does Strings already contains some singluar uses of the word, but they also link to many of the same pages, I think they are in desperate need of a merge. Also some cleanup, but that can come after the merge. -- Natalya 23:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks. I've performed the merge. -- Mikeblas 13:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
What was this a discussion of? Which pages where mereged? Hyacinth 10:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More Cleanup
I've removed a few red links while performing the merge, though I've left some in the expectation they might be common or notable enough usage to anticipate an article. I noted that this isn't a very typical layout for a disambiguation page, so if anyone wants to perform more cleanup, fix up the layout, or so on, please do feel encouraged to do so. -- Mikeblas 13:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- I've taken care of a lot of it, I removed all the extraneous links, removed the piping, fixed all the headers, and reordered them (see MoS:DP). The only thing I wasn't sure about was removing the dictionary definition - I'm all for taking it out, because there is already the link to Wiktionary (and Wikipedia is not a dictionary anyway) but there has always been some discrepancy about it. -- Natalya 18:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- I forgot to thank you: Thank you! -- Mikeblas 01:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article instead of disambiguation page
It's kind of disappointing that we don't have an article on string (cord) instead of just a disambiguation page, as it seems like there is enough information for an article (history, how it's made, uses). If someone were to write one, I would support moving this page to string (disambiguation) with a link to it at the top of the new article. -- Kjkolb 11:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- As long as the article is encyclopedic and not dictionaric (is that a word?), that would be fine. If/when an appropriate article is created, it would certainly be the primary article. -- Natalya 12:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Disambiguation pages have "(disambiguation)" after the title. This one doesn't. Can someone fix that?Yanwen 22:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
