Better now?

[edit]

"A bazooka is an colloquial term refering to an anti-tank rocket launcher weapon, originating with the Bazooka series of American hand-held anti-tank rocket launcher weapons."

Here you can have the colloquial use first, without misinformation.

It's similar as to, more recently, refering to any hand-held rocket launcher as an "RPG" (really only a series of Soviet and Warsaw Pact weapons). 94.246.147.217 (talk) 18:49, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is only really applicable to shoulder launched weapons, not any sort of rocket launcher. And there should only be one link for each entry. older ≠ wiser 18:54, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then rephrase it and include the reference to the specific "Bazooka" series of weapons (the subject of the article Bazooka). Btw, the current definition (that is, yours) doesn't even mention "shoulder launched" anything, so your complaint is very bizarre (yours definition even spells the phrase "rocket launcher" as "rocket-launcher"). 94.246.147.217 (talk)

Avon

[edit]

Hi Bkonrad, the rivers of England are represented insufficiently in Wikipedia, generally. Having all those homonymous rivers in one list, this is an opportunity to support understanding. The lengths of the rivers give an impression of their importance. To me it was new that the Bristol Avon is almost as long as Shakespear's Avon, and that Salisbury Avon, known from Stonehenge, is shorter.--Ulamm (talk) 22:00, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revert with no info in edit summary

[edit]

Hi, I know there was some vandalism on Sour Grapes but I think there was a kernel of truth. I looked it up, it is a song from the episode, not inappropriate for a disambiguation page. I was trying to steer an unconstructive edit towards a constructive one. If you disagree, that's fine - but reverting a good-faith edit should come with an explanation. I'm sure you probably got caught up on cleaning actual vandalism, so...like I said, I get it. Ivey (talk - contribs) 15:57, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the rollback, but there is no mention of this in the article. Disambiguation pages are not indexes for content that doesn't exist in a Wikipedia article. older ≠ wiser 18:19, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why did u change the SA article?

[edit]

My edit was 100% accurate yet u removed it. There must be a valid reason to back up your decision. Sa is indeed a rapper from the state of Kerala in India. You can see him rap in the song manavaalan thug. Malayalee from India (talk) 09:06, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes ik that was may but the info matters regardless. Malayalee from India (talk) 09:07, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mean the month may Malayalee from India (talk) 09:07, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher) @Malayalee from India Your edit was reverted because the article SA (rapper) doesn't exist yet. Disambiguation pages exist to lead readers to existing information in articles in the encyclopedia. Create the article first, and then add the entry to the disambiguation page.

K. Ig ur r8. I will add that after i add the article then. Thx for responding tho :-) Malayalee from India (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote

[edit]

My point is that "history from below" should redirect to the general topic of social history and not one particular type of social history called people's history. If "history from below" belongs to any national-specific social history it is French, not American. That the phrase redirects to people's history is not only misleading, it's ahistorical. I tried to generate conversation on this point 1.5 years ago. The River Bytham (talk) 11:22, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know little about the specific content, my only concern is that your edits made the hatnotes incorrect. I don't see there was any support for your suggestion though. Perhaps you might try again to gain some sort of support for whatever it is you want to do. older ≠ wiser 11:32, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a regular editor. What is incorrect about the hatnotes? Perhaps if I can get this addressed then a change can be made.
I recommend reading the Social history page, as it explains that the term "history from below" came from British historian E. P. Thompson in 1966. He got it from the french Annales school. The River Bytham (talk) 12:00, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
At present history from below does not redirect to social history. That is what is incorrect about the hatnote as you edited it. older ≠ wiser 12:08, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@The River Bytham, instructions for starting discussion about a redirect are at WP:RFD. older ≠ wiser 16:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice one. Thanks for your assistance. The River Bytham (talk) 18:18, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do you find my edits everytime??

[edit]

It's scary how you're able to find my edits every time and fix/correct/slash remove them, how do you do that? Librarian of the Tree of Knowledge (talk) 05:10, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
