I see no reason why this change was made, and am about to undo it unless the MoS says otherwise. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what the person you referred me to did. Not exactly what I wanted, but I'm fine with it. Again, I don't see the problem with it. Doesn't seem to violate the MOS anymore. --UsaSatsui (talk) 19:12, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem I have with it is that it's unreferenced. There needs to be a blue link which claims such a statement. J should have thought this through. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:16, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References are unneeded and unwanted on disambiguation pages. S should have thought that through. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wictionary? Or perhaps the Japanese entry? What kind of link would be acceptable? --UsaSatsui (talk) 19:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Wiktionary box covers it. See the one on the page Son Goku for example. Does my logic make sense now? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:49, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Son Goku" doesn't have a definition. "Usagi" means something, and it means something that has an article. I don't see why there shouldn't be a link. --UsaSatsui (talk) 23:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I meant the Goku dab. Care to take a look at the box there? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I get it...it should be an entry, like this? (and what do you know...Goku really is "over nine thousand").--UsaSatsui (talk) 03:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be there. That's what I'm trying to say. Can I take it off? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, now I see. I thought the argument was about the proper way to put it in, and you're saying it shouldn't go in at all. Please explain this: This word means "rabbit". It's already sourced in the disambig page, and if you want, I can go pull 20 sources for it. Most of the terms on this page refer to rabbits. And Wikipedia has a fine article on rabbits, it's not just a dictionary definition. Please give me a common sense reason why there should be absolutely -no- link or reference to that article on this page. Even the Goku disambig you pointed to has the common meaning of the word in the list. If all you can come up with is a section in the MOS that refers to dictionary definitions and not situations where we have several articles on the subject, I'm going to have to fight to keep it in. --UsaSatsui (talk) 20:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We can go here if you like to pull in a fully neutral party. --UsaSatsui (talk) 20:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Though won't it be better if we left a note on WT:WPDAB? Might garner more attention. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, go for it. --UsaSatsui (talk) 21:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you going to leave the note? --UsaSatsui (talk) 03:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, didn't see your last reply. Will leave a note now ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see having quick translation of "common" foreign words on dab pages as a service for the reader. The question is whether rabbit should be linked or not, but I have no strong preference either way. – sgeureka ^t•c 05:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any other thoughts? Anyone? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about we have it like this for now:

Usagi, a Japanese term for rabbit

Sound good? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 14:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should also add your requested reference to Rabbit, then. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just want this article to link to the rabbit article. However it's done, I don't really have any preference. --UsaSatsui (talk) 20:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shall I make the edit? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a little more than a week, so I've gone ahead and made the edit. Any disagreements should be brought up here first. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
