"The two-letter English word referring to an aquatic creature in Japanese mythology described as a mix between a human and a jellyfish"
Having a disambiguation page is only useful if you can actually go to the page that has the information you're looking for.  Why is there no link here to the creature from Japanese mythology?  How do I get to that page?  This is exactly why removing those ugly red links is a bad idea:  the red links remind people that an article still needs to be written.  Even if the page on Ri in Japanese mythology doesn't exist yet, it would be nice to at least see a red link, rather than having to suffer the frustration of thinking that there may actually be an article that we can't get to because someone forgot to provide the link for it.
Could someone please edit the page so that a link appears, even if that means it has to be an inactive one? --Corvun 12:01, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
:Like I was saying all that while back, I'm having a hard time finding this creature -anywhere- outside wikipedia. Admittedly, it's pretty hard to search for just "ri" but if one includes "japanese" or "mythology" you just get wikipedia and mirrors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk • contribs) 
::I've removed the "Japanese monster" entry. If anyone ever finds any evidence for such a creature (I mean any evidence that the word "ri" was ever used to describe a jellyfish monster, not evidence that jellyfish monsters exist ;) they can make an article and add a link here at that time. --Quuxplusone (talk) 05:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Ri" is a challenging word to Google for, because it's so short, and because it comes up so often as an abbreviation. The state of Rhode Island is particularly frustrating here: try and see how many search results you will get that combine Rhode Island, Japanese, and jellyfish in a completely irrelevant context.  Nonetheless, after attempting several convoluted searches, I  did come up with a potentially independent source, a page that otherwise seems to contain well-researched info about Japanese mythological creatures: Japanese Spirits/Ghosts, Monsters Archive.  As just a single source, this is not very encouraging, but I will continue to search for more. Freederick (talk) 13:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
