Disambiguation link notification for March 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Democrat and Republican (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.

Delete and salt
Delete of course means to simply delete the article as normal, but adding salt means:
- Protect, or salt the Earth ("salt") means that the user thinks that the article, if deleted, should be protected against recreation. This is for cases where the article may be persistently re-created.(per Misplaced Pages:Guide to deletion ).--Amadscientist (talk) 23:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- My suggestion for that was based on the reverting of a number of editors who removed sources that were being misused and what appears to be an attempt to work around policies in this article for partisan bickering. I am of the opinion that these sorts of articles should not be recreated even if merged. The only problem with that is, if the article is merged, I am not sure if it can be salted as the article becomes a redirect but then it could just be locked (protected) in that manner I suppose.--Amadscientist (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, I wondered about it. I was thinking of how meat gets salted and wondered if it meant this was a permanent deletion. Thanks for getting back. I think I like that idea. I'm going to go with that. Malke 2010 (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- It is a reference to sowing fields with salt, a symbolic gesture, which has current tenure as a meme that they will then not grow anything. It was utilized by the Hittites and Assyrians, and purportedly by the Romans, and is mentioned in the Bible. When we "salt" an article, no future article can "grow" there. Is there an article which needs salting? KillerChihuahua 20:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Wow, that's a great explanation. Thanks. The article Amadscientist, and I agree with him, thinks should be salted is the Bush Derangement Syndrome. Seems to have no utility on Misplaced Pages, but it's survived six attempts to delete it. Malke 2010 (talk) 20:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Well, it can't be salted until it is deleted, so let's see how the most recent Afd ends. KillerChihuahua 21:06, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the TPM Arb case
Although you have not said so specifically, it may be that your immediate attack on me when I reminded editors of civility was due to stress resulting from the continued toxic environment on the TPM article and talk page. You've stated you would prefer to edit TROUBLES articles because "the difference is night and day" due to editors being under a tighter constraint. So my evidence may be more about the toxic environment rather than your actions, although those actions were less than stellar. Please feel free to link to this post of mine when you post your evidence. I'm not at all certain whether sanctions are indicated in your case; but I do think your actions on the TPM talk page were less than you are capable of. I'm not an Arb, but if you simply say words to the effect of "yeah, could have been more civil, will be in the future" I don't forsee any action being taken regarding your actions, and I think that would close the issue so far as I am concerned.
