Talk:Berg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the part that says "Richard Berg, American physicist, acoustician, and educator" it links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Berg which is not the Physicist/acoustician/educator.

[edit] About the cleanup
Sgeureka, about you latest big cleanup: I would go even further and get rid of all redlinks. They correspond to places that do not seem important enough to warrant a quick creation of their own articles. Same thing for the secondary links, which do not mention the places they are supposed to contain. --maf (talk-cont) 16:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, you're probably right, so I shall do that then (like it's already done with red-linked people of WP:SU). I'll check all the other SU pages that I've cleaned up so far. – sgeureka t•c 17:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- Wait, I remember why I left them in (other then just inexperience at that time) - see the similar case of Blumenthal (dab) in Molfsee which has a big German village/town template at the bottom. (BTW, I live in Germany and have never even heard of the template's base town/region Rendsburg-Eckernförde, so Blumenthal is even less notable.) So, still remove them from the dab page in such a case? Same case for many minor French towns/villages like on Besse (dab) in the Arrondissement of Issoire. Almost all of these red-linked articles are unlikely to ever be created (since they're not in the US), but at the same time what would a dab page with solely German+French names be used for if there is no real "English" use for them? Only people people actually seeking these German/French pages come here, and then it might be of big help for them (IMO). – sgeureka t•c 17:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't like redlinks. See the essay WP:ABOUTEVERYTHING. The template you mention is a sore to the eye and no help at all. The Blumenthal places could move to Places called Blumenthal (which would be a very unnotable article) as they serve no purpose in a dab page, which is for articles. --maf (talk-cont) 18:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- Right. I re-read Mos:DAB#Redlinks, which I had somehow (wrongly) remembered as "red-links are allowed", not as "use with extreme care". Something to learn everyday... :-) – sgeureka t•c 18:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

So I removed the following non-article entries/redlinks for having an empty "What links here" page:
- several small towns and hamlets in Belgium
- Berg, Baden-Württemberg, district of Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg
- Stuttgart-Berg, a part of Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg
- Berg am Starnberger See, district of Starnberg, Bavaria
- Berg (Meijel), municipality Meijel, Limburg
- Berg (Margraten), municipality Margraten, Limburg
- Berg (North Brabant)
- Berg, Upper Palatinate, district of Neumarkt, Bavaria
I leave in two redlinks on the dab page because they have templates that link to them (i.e. there already is a suggested name for them), and they can provide a main article. Although there are quite a few remaining towns/municipalities/whatever, I'm not really eager to move them to their own page because MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created doesn't really encourage this openly. (And this dab page is rather neat and tidy, even with the place names.) – sgeureka t•c 19:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- I think you've done a fine job now. I'd just like to point that I wouldn't consider Places called Blumenthal a dab, just a list of items, unlike a Places called Berg, which would be a dab. --maf (talk-cont) 19:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. But then what would {{geodis}} (or Category:Ambiguous place names) be for then if not for a dab page? ;-) Lists of people's (sur)names (as the main SU issues) though may or may not be tagged as dab pages with {{hndis}} (current consensus:no if nobody has the same given + surname) or just {{surname}} (which would makes them lists, not dab pages). – sgeureka t•c 22:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
