:I'm not using any "hard-and-fast" criteria, but I generally decide that some redirects that could potentially be used for other subjects (say as a disambig, or for a similar subject but still different)... others simply had broken redirects.  What would be a justification for using a plural form of a word to redirect to the singular anyway?  --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 13:22, 18 January 2008 (CST)

Thanks! I see that it was some omissions from the metadata, that I had not thouight were needed! Martin Baldwin-Edwards 11:47, 13 January 2008 (CST)
Actually, you just forgot the {{subpages}} on the talk page. --Robert W King 11:48, 13 January 2008 (CST)

Chisholm

Saw you just added the subpages - I left a message on Matt's talk page, they seem to be lacking from quite a few approved articles. --Todd Coles 21:24, 13 January 2008 (CST)

the 1941 EB

It's too heavy to carry downstairs! I just weighed one volume with a v. accurate kitchen scale calibrated in metrics, then muliplied by 24 volumes, then divided by 454. Result: 99.8 pounds. Including accumulated dust, that's probably 100 lbs. even.... Hayford Peirce 21:55, 13 January 2008 (CST)

Thanks

Thanks for getting that map looking right. I'm useless with anything remotely technical. Denis Cavanagh 12:32, 18 January 2008 (CST)

Unnecessary Redirects

Hey Robert, how are you deciding that these redirects are unnecessary. Some of them look reasonable, such as Habitats going to Habitat. -D. Matt Innis 13:19, 18 January 2008 (CST)

I'm not using any "hard-and-fast" criteria, but I generally decide that some redirects that could potentially be used for other subjects (say as a disambig, or for a similar subject but still different)... others simply had broken redirects. What would be a justification for using a plural form of a word to redirect to the singular anyway? --Robert W King 13:22, 18 January 2008 (CST)
