Talk:Leonardo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry, I don't understand the edit expanding "the artist" to "the artist Leonardo", but not expanding the football player or the cartoon character in the same way. Uh, they're all referred to as Leonardo, right? That's the reason a disambig page is needed, isn't it? I'm tentatively reverting this change. Or maybe they should all be bolded Leonardos, I've nothing against that. Anyway, please feel free to change it back and explain the rationale here, if you like, Dryazan.--[[User:Bishonen|Bishonen (talk)]] 22:22, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I've invisibled (not removed, you'll find it in the edit field still) the addition of Turk, De Groot, Robin Dubois, and Clifton by User:Wimvandorst. Sorry, but I just don't see how any of that needs disambiguating from "Leonardo". Especially since the only very tenuous connection, the link to Leonard (not Leonardo) on some of those pages, doesn't lead anywhere reasonable: it's piped right back to Leonardo da Vinci (!), which doesn't mention any cartoon character "Leonard", needless to say. Please address rationale on this page, if I have failed to grasp your purpose. Afuck)
Leonardo is a cartoon character, created by Turk&De Groot. It is written up (very briefly, I admit) under the 'In Fiction' heading on Leonardo da Vinci. I am working on a page on itself for that cartoon character, but zealously already created an entry here. You're right in pointing out that it isn't good enough, and I'll remove the code for the time being. --Wim van Dorst 23:06, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)
Cool, Wim. Welcome back with the new page.--Bishonen | Talk 00:20, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why I removed Leonardo DiCapria
Argou, please explain yourself when you undo a change. It's rude not to.
Rather than get into a change war with you, I'll explain myself further, and hope you'll respond in kind. When I removed Leonardo DiCapria, I did so from the intuition that it was non-useful clutter that didn't help people find things. You obviously have a different intuition, so I've poked around and found some text on Wikipedia:Disambiguation that gives my intuition some official status:
Do not disambiguate, or add a link to a disambiguation page, if there is no risk of confusion. Ask yourself: When a reader enters this term and pushes "Go", would they expect to view any of the articles listed on the disambiguation page? Disambiguation pages are not search indices -- do not add links that merely contain part of the page title where there is no significant risk of confusion.
In this case, nobody enters "Leonardo" expecting to see the article on the guy in Titanic.
This rule is widely ignored, and I'm not enough of a Usage Nazi to go around fixing this mistake where it's basically harmless. But it is not harmless when you add useless clutter to a page and make it a little harder for people to find the entry they're interested in. So in defense of Leonardo da Vinci, not to mention Leonardo the Mutant turtle, the actor guy has to go.
[edit] Leonardo Nascimento de Araujo
Is known simply as "Leonardo". Please keep him on this page. --Dryazan 17:14, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- That makes sense. Thanks for documenting this fact. ----Isaac R 17:42, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
