about cock
'Not mentioned in the article' what do you mean by that?
it is a well known fact that BBC means Big black cock, go to any porn site if you don't believe me. --Spafky (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Disambiguation pages are not glossaries of slang usage. They are intended solely to assist readers in navigating to article content that may be ambiguously titled. If there is no content in Wikipedia that supports the claimed usage, the entry doesn't merit mentioning on the disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 18:41, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Queen Adelaide
Hi! What's the correct procedure for getting Queen Adelaide to redirect to Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen? Surtsicna (talk) 15:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Surtsicna, you'd need to request to move Queen Adelaide to Queen Adelaide (disambiguation). As the rationale for the move, you'd need to make the case that this term qualifies as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. older ≠ wiser 16:09, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Removing redlink-enties
Hi! You have undone my edits on the GSN (disambiguation) disambiguation page twice, within minutes after the information was added. I think this is a bit uncalled for, especially after I explicitly stated that the article in question has been submitted for review. According to the Wikipedia:Red link article, a "red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a term that could plausibly sustain an article". 194.218.229.113 (talk) 10:31, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- Redlink-only and unlinked entries violate WP:disambiguation guidelines. If your sub-stub draft is ever accepted, the link can be added. In the meantime, I've added entry with link to an article that supports the usage. older ≠ wiser 10:35, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, fair enough. Thanks! 194.218.229.113 (talk) 11:42, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
I noticed your recent edit to Knuckle Sandwich does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks! --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:22, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

I recently nominated Steve Smith (cricketer) as good article candidate (someone is yet to start a review). It would be great if you can review and provide your comments on that. Thanks. Binod Basnet Talk 09:04, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
