Disambiguation link notification for November 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Skeleton panda sea squirt, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages C. oblonga, C. australis and C. moluccensis. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Re: Recent edits on Guilty Gear characters

Just a heads up, the English language/Japanese language linking and wording has become a bit of a manual of style thing across video game character articles. Additionally, because we are English wikipedia, the English voices always come first even if they were added later. Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:06, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

@Kung Fu Man thank you for the heads up! though, linking the full language names is something that I would argue against as a copyeditor (same for abbreviated ones, which would just be their unabbreviated versions). not too familiar with where to discuss this in more detail, feel free to enlighten me. Juwan (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

I'd have to dig back to really find where the discussions, but I believe some of the mindset was to keep the infobox cleaner while consistent (cases like Genshin Impact characters for example where there's 4 prominent languages, albeit they're an exception to the usually English and just native language where applicable). Easier to wikilink than to spell it all out.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Goomba fallacy

Hello, Juwan,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Mariamnei, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Goomba fallacy for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
