Treaty of Fort Industry Aftermath section deleted?

You deleted a section I just freehanded minutes ago. I have at least two sources that place the signing on the Maumee River (sorry, I misread one source and wrote the place as the Sandusky River because the source itself was rather convoluted). If you object to the tone, tag the section [tone]. I'm going to restore my section, while I source it. If you want to tag it later, please do so and we'll work out the wording. I might add, that numerous apparently erroneous sources, place the fort at Toledo or some other place. I can cite them, too. Actual War Department documents at the time give the official record, which is no such fort. Sbalfour (talk) 22:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

@Sbalfour: The upper Maumee River is Toledo. I responded earlier to your query at Talk:Treaty of Fort Industry. I'll see what can be done to clean it up. older ≠ wiser 22:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Good Spot

Thanks for noticing that Process_area_(CMMI) doesn't actually explain what "Organizational Process Assets" actually is. I just thought I'd do something different other than fix vandalism for a change and ended up making a meal of it! Best wishes. -=Troop=- (talk) 20:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

No problem. That actually *would* be a reasonable target for the term, except the article is rather a mess. older ≠ wiser 20:34, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Your help desk question

You didn't get a response to this question but WP:VPT might be the place to ask.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

BRD or BRRRRRR....

Much as I appreciate the way you bring reasonbleness and good sense in discussions on the project page, I really dislike how you throw all of that away and get stuck at the R of BRD. If you really think these ought to be turned into redirects, then instead of reverting ad nauseam, you should really start an AfD. Please. – Uanfala (talk) 01:05, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, you appear to be past WP:3RR on some of these. You're aware that this is something than editors can get blocked over? – Uanfala (talk) 01:07, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Or, you could not ignore guidance about incomplete disambiguation. older ≠ wiser 01:35, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
This is not the prototypical situation that this guidance was meant to address. There's a strong argument that applying the guidelines literally makes it more difficult for readers to locate what they're looking for. The MOS isn't the alpha and omega of all possible situations. I think the underlying problem here – apologies if I'm being too frank, but that's the pattern that I've been observing over the years – is that you seem to refuse to appreciate that it's normal for sensible editors to occasionally disagree on the application of one or another guideline. The fact that someone disagrees with you doesn't necessarily that you should revert them again and again like your average vandal. – Uanfala (talk) 01:44, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Or it's not a very strong argument but an idiosyncratic opinion. If you disagree with established guidelines, you are best advised to seek consensus for exceptions. older ≠ wiser 01:48, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Titletown addition

Dear Bkonrad,

Per the article below, plus the common practice of it being called "Titletown" in common US vernacular, I wanted to add Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the Titletown wikipedia page.

[1]

Viewing the data from the article, it can be easily seen that just with the Penguins and Steelers (not including the Pirates), the city has 11 championships in the last 44 years. If you throw in all of Penn State's major college sports National Championships, which includes 20 in the last 12 years alone, Pittsburgh has a higher rate of championships than any city in the US.

Thanks for considering,

User:Mjb2066, the sole purpose of disambiguation pages is to help readers find articles with relevant content that may be ambiguous with a term or phrase. If there is verifiable and reliable sources that support claim that Pittsburgh is known as "Titletown", that detail should be added to the Pittsburgh article (or perhaps to Sports in Pittsburgh. Until the usage of the term is mentioned in an article, there is nothing to disambiguate. older ≠ wiser 14:24, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
