[edit] Ruff
I'm not sure of the logic of having Ruff (bird) instead of Ruff. The bird has more links than the article of clothing, and the name of the neck ruff is derived from the bird. The present situation is now that someone searching for either of the non-trivial uses of ruff will find a disamb, whereas at least previously the main and original use came up directly.

[edit] Pioneer
What's the deal with changing all the pages that have a link to "pioneer?" It was very obvious the original page had errors and now reflects a modern definition that would have been apparent to anyone ever using the word "pioneer." You may have a job to do about changing all your revisions. FWIW Bzuk 21:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC).

- Read the advice that was given to you, if you continue to insist that pioneer is not defined as a word then link it to a wikidictionary. I consider this as nothing more than vandalism since the article has stood up with that term for over a year. FWIW Bzuk 19:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC).
- Can you NOT read the links I provided in your talk page? - Zvar 19:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe I should explain the context of why I am so testy about this particular word; a raging argument that went on for months and involved calling in a series of administrators all revolved around the word "pioneer" as relating to Amelia Earhart. A concentrated effort was made by a group of editors to retain the word in context to Amelia and after a tremendous struggle with one particular editor, it was retained. I understand fully your contention but the way that the group of editors finally prevailed was to link some of the key words to wikilinks and citations. I am removing the wikilink for the present but now you know the reason why I did not want to revive this argument and wanted to keep the particular passage as it was established by the tribunal effort.

- Further to USNS Amelia Earhart (T-AKE-6), this was also the cause of some editwars as one editor did not want to link it to the Earhart page. Now that you have got some background, bare in mind, you have now been tasked- provide an adequate dictionary link to AE so that the wars do not start again. FWIW (BTW, if you want a hoot, start going through the Earhart talk pages and you will get a feel for what is really going on here) Bzuk 19:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Disambiguating Universal
Hi. I was about to start working on disambiguating Universal when I notice you'd grabbed it (great minds think alike?). Go for it! But if you change your mind, please let me know and I'll pick up wherever you've left off.
I noticed that Universal constructor is itself a dab page, so you might want to consider doing it at the same time, and/or merging it into Universal? Regards, Paddles TC 13:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks for the heads up. I didn't even notice that yet. :) And actually if you look at the done section, you'll notice I simply start from the top and work my way down. I do pass up the ones I have no clue of though. (Seems there are several cities this dump like Halifax.) - Zvar 15:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
