I disagree with your choice to "disambiguate" links to the nonexistent/redirect page Hegelian so that they point to Hegel. The former should be preserved for a future page on Hegelian philosophy as distinct from Hegel's philosophy. Now we've lost all the links pointing to it.
Also, the changes User:Snobot has been making are not really "disambiguation" at all, since almost none of the originating links are ambiguous or point to disambiguation pages. Why not call them something else -- "name expansion"?

Or "pointless damage". See Wikipedia:Disambiguation, particularly the bit about primary meanings. Pm67nz 06:16, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
What was the point in changing all links that were to Auckland, to Auckland? Either link still ends up on the same page. If anything the main article should be move to Auckland and the redirect should be at Auckland, New Zealand. Also it is probably not a good idea to run the bot when servers are so slow at the moment. I suggest you wait until the servers are in better condition. -- Popsracer 12:16, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I had Auckland in mind too, but I see it always was Auckland, New Zealand, so Snobot isn't to blame and I retract my objection. Sorry I leapt to conclusions. Pm67nz 08:00, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
