Moved pages

Hi, TheTwoRoads. I see that you've recently been moving a number of pages related to Doctor Who books from "Title" to "Title (Doctor Who)". I'm sure that your intentions were good, but Wikipedia's rules on disambiguation say that a page shouldn't have a parenthetical suffix in its title unless there's another article that might share that title. Since the novel Prisoner of the Daleks is the only article that would use that title, it should remain at Prisoner of the Daleks, not the disambiguated title Prisoner of the Daleks (Doctor Who). The same goes for all, or nearly all, of the other pages you moved. Unless there are other articles that share the book's title (as, for example, there are at Forever Autumn) the pages should be moved back. Sorry. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, I guess I should have checked first... at least now I know :)

I'm just wondering though, is there a bot that can revert all the titles, or do I have to manually revert them myself?

Thanks!

There probably is a bot that could help, but I don't know specifically which one might be appropriate. You could ask at Wikipedia:Bot requests or find one that looks promising at Wikipedia:Bots/Status, or you might be able to use AWB (I can't, because I use a Macintosh). If you end up doing it manually, I can give you a hand later tonight. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to find a bot that does that unfourtunately. It's alright though, I'll revert all the changes tonight. Thanks for offering to help, but I'm sure that you have better things to do, and I'll be able to handle it. I'm certain it won't take long at all. TheTwoRoads (talk) 23:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, let me know if you had any problems moving the pages back. Thanks for cleaning up! :^) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi there. I'd be happy to adopt you if you like. I usually provide a style of Q&A-adoption, that is, you come to me with any questions and I will help you as much as I can. I won't be able to provide "classes" like other adopters do, so if you are looking for something like that, I'm afraid I can't help you. But if you prefer to have someone experienced to help you whenever needed, I'd be happy to help :-) Regards SoWhy 09:14, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for! I'll drop by your talk page if I have any questions. Thanks ahead for your time :) TheTwoRoads (talk) 05:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
