text: It has articles of the form "Hunter (disambiguating phrase)" first. But I repeat myself.  The formatting of the intro and group headers was unimproved, the pocket watch and name entries were reworded contrary to the guidelines, the See also entries were moved out of See also, and no Edit Summaries were used to indicate what problems were being addressed.  A few groups could be used here (or the list is short enough to leave in one list), but see WP:MOSDAB for guidelines. -- JHunterJ 17:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The manual of style is very nice but the most important part is "Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the disambiguation page is to help people find the information they want quickly and easily."  Ordering it Hunter (something else) before other things is generally good, but you've got real things mixed in with fictional things; some additional splitting would be better, and then the question of, if you're going to have Hunter (game) in a different subsection from Hunter (disease), does it make sense to put Hunter, a character in Quake in yet a third section.

message: The article in general needs a good deal of cleanup - the introduction is fine, but the plot needs to be shortened/summarized much more, broken into shorter sections, and extensive grammar cleanup needs to happen.

There is a b:Bartending book there in case anyone wants to move it there and add a link with Template:Wikibooks.

thread_title:  Recipe to Wikibooks 

message: The Original Entry Read:
"Pink Gin is a cocktail made fashionable in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, consisting of jenever and a dash of 'pink' (Angostura bitters, a dark red extract of gentian and spices, known from the 1820s at Angostura in Venezuela but now made in Trinidad and Tobago).
Pink gin is a typically English way of enjoying gin. It was made popular worldwide by members of the Royal Navy, where it rose to prominence because the Angostura bitters were a cure for seasickness.
Imports to Australia of pre-mixed pink gin has soared in past decades due to the overwhelming demand of fine spirits."
I have now changed the general summary, removing all historical information.
I then replaced new, more accurate, and cited information in the 'Origins' section.
Sadly, I have had to remove the sentence about "Imports to Australia", as I could find no citation for it. I did search for quite a while for any information relating to it and couldn't find a single citation. If anyone does, I am more than happy to see it reincluded. 
I then added a brief 'Variations' section. It isn't particularly lengthy - but its better than nothing!
I added the references section, for the new citations.
Finally, I removed the stub tag - as I now believe that this entry deserves this status. 
Also, as part of the Mixed Drinks Project, I will be removing this article from the to-do list: as is discussed on the project log.

message: Up until today's date, this article had way too much fan-style blurbs or self-written promotion abut Tom Guerra, and not nearly enough material from independent media sources that can be verified. That was pretty much the consensus at the most recent proposal for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Guerra (2nd nomination). Based on the outcome of that discussion I will significantly pare down the article to statements that can be verified in media sources. Without this, the article would almost certainly run afoul of the crucial WP:BLP policy on biographies. Thanks. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:39, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  Is nailbourne not a generic term referring to any intermittent chalk stream ? How can we address this within this article which pertains to a specific stream? --John Gibbard (talk) 14:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it might be an idea to alter the title of the article. Locally the stream is known simply as The Nailbourne and is marked as such on Ordnance Survey maps. I think the term bourne is used across the whole of southern England to refer to streams that flow over chalk and limestone whilst many intermittent chalk streams are known as winterbournes. I'm not actually sure how the prefix nail originated or what it means. It is clear that there is more than one nailbourne - in The Kent Downs, Dan Tuson refers to nailbournes in the Petham, Alkham and Ospringe valleys and refers to the one that flows through the Elham Valley as the Elham nailbourne. I'm not actually aware of any streams outside of Kent known as nailbournes.--GkgAlf (talk) 10:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but Alfonso VII "of Castile" is incorrect, If you read the Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris (there is an English version in Internet), you can see there he is called "King of Leon" about 40 times, and 0 times "King of Castile". Castile was a secundary kingdom for him: in his documents, Castile appears in the last positions in his kingdoms´list. He was King of Leon, and Emperor of Hispania (Spain). There are many confussions in the English Wikipedia about the kingdoms and dinasties in Spain, but it´s a problem in Spain also.
:The question, however, is not one of contemporary usage, but of historiographical usage. He was the king of Castile, even if León was more important. It really doesn't matter what the title said, as long as the article explains it. This article cleary needs some expansion and sourcing.
