Talk:Master of Arts (disambiguation)

message: The following is proposed:
* "Master of Arts" should be moved to "Master of Arts (disambiguation)" with all of its disambiguation text.
* "Master of Arts" should become a redirect to Master of Arts (postgraduate).
* "Master of Arts (postgraduate)" should have one line saying "This article is about the postgraduate degree. For other uses, see Master of Arts (disambiguation)."
*Oppose Master of Arts is a perfectly fine disambig page as it is.  There's absolutely no need to create a new one just so that the readers looking for information on the postgraduate degree awarded in the UK and US get to where they want to go quicker.  Furthermore, I think it is wrong to assume that most people would be looking for the article on the postgraduate degree and to lead them there by default as the other options on the page as it currently stands are quite well known as well.  And just as an on the side, I've read that many German universities also are moving towards awarding Masters degrees although the degree requirements, etc may be very different from those for UK and US schools.  --Mmounties (Talk)   17:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poll proposal 

message: I pointed one user to this discussion a few days ago, and now see yet another one going around making these disambiguations where they actually are wrong. Please! Don't change to something "less ambiguous" unless the change actually makes sense! It would instead be useful if somebody would repair the previous fucked-up "disambiguations" listed above (and undoubtedly many others that can be assumed to exist).

replies: text: Ah, I have a feeling that I've made the problem a bit worse over the last few days, sorry about that. I will go back and revert my links to Master of Arts (postgraduate) for degrees awarded outside America. Sorry again. —anskas 13:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't believe I have done any work on this page, but I am confused. Linking text about a postgraduate Master of Arts degree granted in France to Master of Arts (postgraduate) is not an error. If there is a breadth problem in the Master of Arts (postgraduate) article, that is a content issue. The (postgraduate) article should be expanded to give a global perspective. From where I sit, it is not really a linking issue. Maybe you can clear this up for me. Dekimasu 04:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More "disambiguating" going on...

message: I have been working on fixing disambiguation links coming in to this page for several years now, and if there is any common thread to be taken from this work, it is that the overwhelming primary meaning of the term, as understood in this day and age, is the post-graduate degree. This page is a perpetual link magnet for concepts that are too closely related to be entirely ambiguous. In light of these circumstances, I therefore propose that this page be moved to Master of Arts (disambiguation), and that Master of Arts (postgraduate) be moved to this title; the latter article already contains information about the other types of MA degrees referenced on this page. bd2412 T 12:42, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
