Tilapia articles

Greetings! If you stop by the Tilapia talk page you'll see that creating these "spin-off" articles was necessary and agreed by the editors of that article. The key problem is that "tilapia" gets used to mean different things, and the "all-in-one" article was cumbersome and confusing. Tilapiine cichlids, for example, include the genus Tilapia as well as other genera sometimes called tilapias and other genera never called tilapias but included among the tilapiine cichlids! As a result, merging the articles as you've suggested this evening wouldn't help at all, and would in fact re-create the confusion we've been trying to avoid.

I'm in complete agreement with Neale- the confusion between Tilapia and Tilapia (not to mention Tilapiines - or that the fact the tribe itself is polyphyletic) is more than enough reason in my opinion to separate the articles. MidgleyDJ 10:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I saw that too, refreshing your browser cache should get rid of it; as the current version seems fine. - RoyBoy 800 04:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Your monobook is in Category:Wikipedia tools

Your monobook is in Category:Wikipedia tools. This is most likely because when you were copying scripts into yout monobook you accidentaly copied their category. Since your monobook is not a tool itself, please remove this category from it. If you intend for your monobook to be a tool, please consider creating a subpage with a more descriptive name, and moving the category there. Thank you, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  22:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Bandspam

We can discuss this on wikien-l if you like. Ive sent off the first message. My position is that trivial stuff should be separated from non-trivial stuff, and historically people have agreed that this is covered by using an otheruses template and a disambiguation page. Even if there are only two elements, it still requires abstraction. Otherwise, what would WP pages look like? And why stop at songs? We could also mention on Frankfurt that Frank N Furter is a character in RHPS. Or that Smith is also the name of the bad guy in The Matrix. Your position appears to be simply a promotional one. -Ste|vertigo 05:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
