It looks like we had an edit conflict, but I put my version into the article since I was in the middle of creating the "Composition history" section and moving material out of the lede. There's more to come. Tried to pick up on things you'd changed, but would be happy to see you make any appropriaye changes/improvements. Just fyi: I'm still working on Comp. hist, as there is plenty of new stuff out there on Morrison's website. Viva-Verdi (talk) 22:59, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for alerting me - I've re-done the little copyedits you missed. PamD 23:06, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

TOC for DAB

Hi PamD,

sorry for the confusion, I am not so familiar with the en.WP and the differences between your article and dab pages. Investigating a little I figured out that (my) de.WP dab pages have no TOC at all...weired world. Greetings from sunny but cold Berlin

SS Alba

Hello PamD, I'm dropping by on a courtesy visit to let you know that I have done some extra work on your recent article about the SS Alba. Maybe when you get a chance you could come back to it and give it a review please, to see how the changes sit with you.

I found quite a bit of info on , also where you say that 2 or 5 people perished I have ammended it to 5 as per the info I found on that website, so please check how it is for you.

Anyway, wishing you all the best and many thanks. Kindest regards and happy wiki-ing, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 12:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC))

Thanks for dropping by. Glad to see the article expanded, though I've cleaned up a few bits and pieces (you might want to check on how to cite a reference multiple times). I might try and find local or national newspaper coverage to see if we can settle the 2/5 deaths query. The phrase you're thinking of is "The fateful night", not "Faithful", but I don't think it is an appropriate section heading for an encyclopedia article even when correct! Is that your own theory about the ship not being able to manouevre? If not, please give a reference. Thanks. PamD 14:38, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Categories in "see also" section

PamD's note: Arising from Paranoid anxiety

Just asking. Why do you feel categories are not appropriate in the see also section? With the ":" prefix operator they are just regular links. A good portion of users are totally unfamiliar with categories, and what they lead to. They are at the bottom of the page and can be easily confused as a "bibliographic" stamp that does nothing. The use in the see also section calls particular attention to specific categories. Its a specific signal to the reader that there are other pages on Wikipeda that may be of particular interest to someone reading a particular page. It can signal the reader that there are many "closely related" articles available. It's a navigation tool, plus a short cut to avoid listing many articles in the see also section. A "heads up, this isn't the full story" alerting the reader, many closely related, perhaps overlapping articles that should not be missed if more detail is required. I can't find any WP policy against there use as a link, that's what the ":" prefix is for. I've also seen them used in other articles, and in the main text, in hat notes, etc. Is that all wrong? Rick (talk) 02:54, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, WP:SEEALSO says "A bulleted list, preferably alphabetized, of internal links to related Misplaced Pages articles." and makes no mention of the possibility of linking to categories. But go ahead and replace them if you want. PamD 08:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Pam, Thanks very much for your flexibility. I see you are from the U.K. and the cite was from Melanie Klein, a fantastic U.K. psychologist. Rick (talk) 16:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you - it looked an interesting article in need of a bit of help! PamD 09:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Schuch

Has User_talk:Rodeorm ever reacted to your note of 2009? I am persuaded that his/her article is a pile of crap, or more politely: a hoax. See my remarks under discussion to "Schuch" Talk:Schuch and please answer there. Thanks noychoH (talk) 11:21, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Alba

Pam, I personally don't see "Alba" for the Gaelic name of Scotland being more prevalent than other uses. Type in "Alba" under Google, Yahoo, etc, and Scotland's name is not a top hit (excluding the Misplaced Pages page). However, I have no desire to make a change that is vastly unpopular, or disrupts a number of links, so I have voiced my support for reverting the changes. DavidinNJ (talk) 13:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I see it's all been put back in place now. If you want to propose that the Scottish name is not the Primary Topic for the word "Alba" (which might well be the case), you need to use Requested Moves to propose the multiple page move (and I'm not sure whether ".. (name)" would be the ideal disambiguator... perhaps "... (Scotland)"? Or set it up as a RM to unknown title and see what suggestions are made?). Then there can be discussion, consensus, and if a page move is made someone needs to make sure that all the links currently pointing to Alba are tidied up to point to wherever it ends up.

London Millennium Funicular

Take no notice of the crossing outs that is to do with the fact I have a different account name on wikicommons and I accidentally edited this article on Misplaced Pages with two different user name. As I have retired the user name on Misplaced Pages which made the deleted the edits, and replaced the text using my current user name. As to the article name please see talk:London Millennium Funicular.-- PBS (talk) 12:16, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Funicular, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Millennium Bridge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
