message: My substantial cleanup of this page has been reverted out of hand by Bkonrad twice, simply because he objected to one minor aspect of it.  Perhaps someone else would like to make the intro read in an encyclopaedic style, remove external links as required by the MOS, change 'Persons' (ugh!) to 'People', change 'See also' to 'Others', and remove the non-notable radio-controlled helicopted or at least just make its section heading comply with the MOS.  I'd do it but I'm sure Bkonrad would revert the changes.  Worldtraveller 08:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What Worldtraveller considers one minor aspect is hardly minor as it involved the wholesale deletion of multiple place names. Such deletions spread out through the list are difficult and tedious to manually restore, and I honestly do not see such significant changes in the rest of the page to warrant such accusations as Worldtraveller makes.  For full disclosure, there was an exchange here that has turned rather acrimonious, for reasons that still rather mystify me. I've no strong preference in how the intro is framed, but I honestly think the current intro  (which I'm not claiming credit for) is better than Worldtraveller's suggested revision . As for external links, I don't feel that strongly about the SINGLE external link remaining on the page--personally, I feel it is more helpful for a reader to have an external link than nothing or a bare redlink, but ideally, if the topic is encyclopedic, it probably should have an article. As for the other headings, sure I'll make the changes myself. I still don't see why you are getting in such a petulant huff. If you had made ONLY the changes you suggested above, I would not have objected. Look, I'm sorry if you were offended by my reverting. Stop making such a huge case out of this. It is no big deal. Good grief. older ≠ wiser 11:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

: The purpose of a disambiguation page like this is not to list everything called Aurora. It is to provide links to Auroras that one can read more about in Wikipedia. For whatever reason, Wikipedia contains an article about the casket manufacturer but not one about the medical company, and thus it is entirely proper that the disambiguation page links the one that has an article. It may well be that Wikipedia should have an article about the medical company and/or shouldn't have one about the casketmaker, but here is not the right place to discuss that.

I can find no logic for such a deletion. The following support the existence of the project. (Actually I used a different entry as noted below)
*http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/lampert06vermont.html which cites IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, "Aurora - Network Traffic Analysis and Visualization," 2004. [Online]. Available: http://www.zurich.ibm. com/aurora/ as a reference for there paper on Vermont A Versatile Monitoring Toolkit for IPFIX and PSAMP
*The following found as the first entry in a google search
::IBM Zurich Research Laboratory | Systems | AURORA - Network ...The flow-based traffic profiling system developed in the Aurora network traffic analysis and visualization project uses new techniques for collecting, ...
::www.zurich.ibm.com/aurora/ -  
*A reference found on research.imb.com indicating a more company wide acceptance of the project. http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research.nsf/pages/r.communications.aurora.html  
The revised entry is as follows:
*Aurora (Network Traffic Analysis and Visualization) a Light-Weight and Scalable Network Profiling System

replies: text: A disambiguation page is a navigation tool that collects link to wikipedia articles with the same or similar titles. The meaning of "Aurora" that you have found does not have a Wikipedia article to link to, and therefore does not belong in a disambiguation page. A disambiguation page is not a web directory; neither is it an indiscrimiate list of uses of a word for cases where we don't have an article that a reader might conceivably want to find by entering the word in the search box. –Henning Makholm 21:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation?

message: The list of place names makes up more than a third of the page's length (two screens' worth of content for my browser, out of the five-and-a-half that makes up the page). The list of US places named Aurora makes up almost an entire screen by itself. 
I recommend that either the list of places named Aurora be split into its own disambiguation article, or the list of US places named Aurora be turned into a two-column format, or both. I've not done either of these myself, as I thought it best to reach a wider consensus before splitting the place names out, and I'm currently unaware of policy on two-column lists in disambiguation pages.

message: Why is 'Operation Aurora' placed under the heading Computers?  That would be a bit like listing 'Enola Gay' under 'Physics'. 217.174.59.128 (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Computers -> Operation Aurora ? 

message: Most boys growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in the USA remember Aurora as being the name on the slot car sets. Also they made building kits for their train sets. This is before any little boy knew about any of all the other thinga listed here under Aurora. It would seem that people have forgotten the first time they heard, seen, or read the name Aurora. It was on Boys toys.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.250.107 (talk) 14:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Independent of the preference discussed above, it is standard to use a section for long lists. I propose we put the song section back in per MOSDAB. I'm aware that it introduces redundancy, but the issue of reducing redundancy should be considered in the preference aspect (the description), rather than what we can all agree on.
