Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eggcorn, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. MichaelMaggs (talk) 20:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did not realize that common knowledge items had to be referenced, e.g. my pointing out that "chaise lounge" is an eggcorn for "chaise longue." Maybe you could have messaged me before deleting? I'd have been happy to scare up a reference. Thanks. Pascalulu88 (talk) 22:08, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Bonny

You make a fair point with your edit. I was going off more a general, well if she was pregnant in 1720, and it becomes quite difficult to give birth by your 50s especially in the 18th century, then that's the min max range possible. That being said, the odds are incredibly unlikely to be 50 and be a powder money helping pirates, and after a discussing with the author of British Pirates in Print and Performance, even the pregnancy part is ambiguous. The trial transcript ends after saying an inspection will be done, there is nothing actually saying they were pregnant and its entirely possible Mary Read merely died of a fever or sickness in prison and not from giving birth. So yeah, I think you made the right choice, late 17th century. Lady Tyler "Bio" Rodriguez (talk) 14:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About the use of disambiguated links

Hello Pascalulu88. I noticed that you have numerous messages above about adding ambiguous links to articles. Here are some basics about adding unambiguous links to Wikipedia articles. Take this link to "Mercury" for example; that is an ambiguous link, because we don't know if it's the planet, the chemical element, the deity and clicking it will not take you to a Wikipedia article, but instead to a special page called a disambiguation page because we don't know which topic is intended. In order to link to the correct article, we have to use the full page title depending on which topic is intended. In this example, we would use one of these:

Mercury (planet), if we mean the planet,
Mercury (element), if the metal is meant; and
Mercury (mythology), if we mean to link the Roman deity.

Manual disambiguation with piped links

In the context of the article where you place the "Mercury" link, you want readers to see only the word "Mercury", not the parenthesized part, so to achieve that, you can use a piped link, like this:

[[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]] is the planet closest to the sun ⟶ "Mercury is the planet closest to the sun"
[[Mercury (element)|Mercury]] is liquid at room temperature; ⟶ "Mercury is liquid at room temperature", and
[[Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]] is the Roman deity ⟶ "Mercury is the Roman deity".

Note that although the three blue links all look identical, if you mouse over or click them, you will see that they each go to a different article, the right article for the context.

Semi-automated disambiguation with the ambiguous link helper

Would you like to make this link more specific?

You linked to "Mercury" which is not a content page but a list of topics with similar names.

Review link

There is a semi-automated way to avoid adding ambiguous links to the page which you have likely already seen, but perhaps are not familiar with. When you add an ambiguous link to a page while editing, you will get a pop-up message like the one you see here, with a bold, Review link prompt at the bottom of the message box, like the example you see to the right.

If you click 'Review link' when the pop-up box appears (not here in the example) then it will pop up a new box showing all the possible pages you might want to link to (Mercury planet Mercury deity, Mercury metal, etc.). When you select the right one, it will substitute the proper link back onto the page for you. You can try this right now, if you want: just {{Reply}} to this message, and type Mercury, watch for the pop-up, click 'Review link', place your cursor in the input field below where it says 'Target page or URL', and then choose the right link from the drop-down list, and then click the Insert link button at the bottom of the dialog box.

Going forward, please take note of ambiguous links and provide a link to the correct article, either manually piping the link, or using the pop-up box to insert the correct link as shown above. I hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 23:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm aware of the problem. The warning pops up immediately after I put the brackets on a name and I usually go to the disambiguation page to fix it, or if the exact name yields a red link, then I remove the brackets. Unfortunately, the original ambiguous link warning messages remain on my record after I have made a correction. Pascalulu88 (talk) 17:31, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to remove the warning messages here on your Talk page, or to archive them, or to wait until they are archived automatically by one of the archive bots that archives stale discussions, meaning those having no edits in N days. If you would like, I can set up archiving for you. Sixty days is typical, but you can choose any number you want. Mathglot (talk) 03:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

However, you said "I usually go to the disambiguation page to fix it", but I don't think you meant to say that; for one thing, I don't think you changed any of them, and it wouldn't have fixed the problems on this page if you did. Changing the disambiguation page is almost never the way to fix an ambiguous link problem; the way to fix it, is in the article you are editing at the time when the link review message pops up.

For example, in the February 4 message above about editing the article United Suvadive Republic, you added an ambiguous link to Dhivehi in this edit of 14:51, 4 February 2025, fixed by User:Rodw the next day. Or in the March 8 notice above, you were editing the article C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and in this edit of 00:24, 8 March 2025 you added an ambiguous link to John Murray (publisher), a redirect to the disambiguation page John Murray. That was fixed later that day, again by Rodw.

Neither of these ambiguous links could have been fixed by changing the disambiguation page; they had to be fixed in the article you were editing. The link review popup box prompts you to do that, while you are still in the right place to do it, right when you type the ambiguous link: so you are in exactly the right place and the right time to fix it. Do you need more information about how to fix the problem when you see the box pop up, or later, after you get one of the bot ambiguous link notices here on your Talk page?

How article titles are chosen at Wikipedia

I wanted to go over something that came up in discussion at Talk:Detention of Rümeysa Öztürk#Title. Article titles at Wikipedia are chosen by applying the Wikipedia:Article title policy, which has key features like WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ENGLISHTITLE. Official names have very little influence on how an article title is chosen, and neither does how a name is spelled in another language: they yield to COMMONNAME and ENGLISHTITLE, as determined by the preponderance of reliable sources written in English. This was explained at the article Talk page with the relevant links, however it did not seem to take, as you resumed afterward with more talk about the "correct spelling" of her name and how that overrides reliable sources, neither of which is policy.

As far as what the title of that article should be, I have no opinion, having not examined the sources in detail, and no personal preference other than that it should follow Wikipedia article title policy. The simple use of the term correct spelling and the claim that native spelling trumps reliable sources makes it clear to me that you do not yet fully understand the article title policy. That's okay; there is a labyrinth of rules out there, and it's not possible to know all of them, and you are still relatively new here. But a word of advice: before getting involved in further Talk page discussions about article titles, I urge you to read up on article title policy, as your arguments in future move discussions will carry little weight if they are based purely on your own conception of what a title ought to be, rather than on Wikipedia policy.
