Disambiguation link notification for October 8



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Miss Colorado USA ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Tampa Times ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Red links



I'd like you to read WP:RED ↗ with a note:

{{tq|In general, a red link should remain in an article if there is a reasonable expectation that the article in question will eventually be created (either as its own article or as a redirect). Remove red links if and only if Wikipedia should not have any coverage on the subject. .... But please do not "kill" red links by redirect because their red color (annoying to some readers) seems to scream for a fix. A valid red link should be left in place if the reader agrees on need for a future article with that name but does not want to provide one.}}

There is ample coverage on Minarcin, a chunk of which comes from his involvement in reporting the Donald Harvey ↗ story at WCPO-TV ↗. That won the station a Peabody Award ↗. I have intended to write an article on Minarcin and have quite a few clippings for it already but never got around to it at the time I wrote WTSP.

I notice many of your edits remove red links. Please take time to reconsider that some of them indicate article topics of likely notability. There are cases where removal is warranted, e.g. Miss Trinidad and Tobago ↗, but the two times I have seen edit summaries of yours, the red links you removed were intentional. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 05:13, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

HARDtalk - Is to Was



Hi, any reason for changing "Was" to "Is" on HardTALK, given that it's been cancelled? Rambo Apocalypse (talk) 23:43, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Stand by to Shoot.



Hello.

Please could you say why the past tenses used in the article should all remain in that sense except the one in question, returned to the present tense ?
The exception refers to their present, believed-to-be non-existing state, which I undetstand communicates a present condition; but, to return a past tense to a present one, leaving all the others in the past tense, to me is contradictory. I'd be grateful if you could explain the thinking behind it.

Thanks.

:Hello.
:Could I ask you about the above again, please ?
:I hope it doesn't appear that I'm harrying you. I do remember that someone might be ill, or away, for example.
:If I don't hear within a week, I'll assume that joint agreement to revert it exists.
:Thanks. Heath St John (talk) 10:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:See WP:TVNOW ↗ Vintageland (talk) 18:09, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
::Hello.
::Thanks; I didn't know that.
::I accept that the present tense usage is Wikipaedia's policy, even though I think it's ridiculous.
::Wikipaedia's policy also says:-
::"...In the case of some defunct non-fiction and live programs, most production and broadcast information should be referred to in past tense....".
::You may have researched the matter for yourself and found that the show doesn't exist anymore, which allows the amended past-tense to stand, which conforms to the policy guidance quoted above.
::Thanks.
