Disambiguation link notification for June 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Utah State Route 42, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Utah State Route 3 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Template:Italic title rather than template:displaytitle
I think, at least in some of the cases I saw you adding this evening, you should have used {{Italic title}}. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- I looked at the page for {{Italic title}}. I didn't understand what the difference between the templates was. Can you explain what is the difference and what I should use when? Thanks.
- By the way, great work on the Christian music articles. I have been a Christian since I was 8 years old. The only music I listen to is that. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 07:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Georgia State Route 25 Connector
Hello Morriswa. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Georgia State Route 25 Connector, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: this can easily and better be solved with a redirect. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:01, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- How could it be "solved" with a redirect? I made one mistake: There is a SR 25 Connector in Brunswick. However, normally, disambiguation pages are only made for three or more articles (at least road ones, anyway). Please let me know how you think this could be rectified. Thanks. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 10:05, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Allen. I redirected Georgia State Route 25 Connector to Georgia_State_Route_25_Connector_(Savannah)#SR_25_Connector_Savannah. That should be it, shouldn't I, or am I overlooking something? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- The connector on the page that was in Woodbine is actually a spur, so I took care of that. The connector in Brunswick doesn't exist, even as a redirect, so that is a redlink (for now). Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 10:15, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, so do you need any admin action, or are things as they should now? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:22, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. You could ask on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads to see if anyone there could share their wisdom on this issue. If you do, please explain the whole situation to them. If nothing else, add a {{Talkback}} template to their page. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 10:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Things look all fine as they are now. Georgia State Route 25 Connector redirects to the right spot. TCN7JM 11:03, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, TCN7JM, for commenting on this "issue". I didn't want to definitively say it was fine, unless you guys weighed in on it. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 11:11, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- 9/10 cases you think you need an admin, you don't actually need an admin ;) Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 11:28, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
