Disambiguation link notification for October 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Founders: A Novel of the Coming Collapse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WBZ (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Suggestion

"to expect to be able to find multiple hard copy book reviews of survivalist books like Patriots, Survivors, and Founders is not realistic." Actually, Patriots meets Wikipedia notability guidelines and has its own standalone article. It is realistic to expect to find reliable sources for these books, evidently. I suggest one way to crack this problem is to merge all three books into a single "series" article which would be easy to source for all the novels as a whole, rather than trying to have short standalone articles for each book that are hard to adequately source individually. For example Carl Hamilton novels. If you think a book can be a standalone article, spin it off with a "See main article" subsection (like Carl_Hamilton_novels#Coq_Rouge), and if that standalone gets deleted (like Coq Rouge (novel) is being currently), merge it back into the series article, then try again later when you get better sources etc. That way the books have a home base of sorts strong enough to survive deletion attempts. The novels are notable as a group (and in a way more interesting as a group), individually harder to do. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 01:37, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Patriots Novels Series

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Patriots Novels Series, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 02:13, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Patriots Novels Series. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — madman 15:19, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Series page

Hi! Sorry for the late reply! Looks like you got it all figured out and it looks fairly good. I want to warn you about some of the sources, as you might get some squabbles over them in the future. But since the first book is notable and a series page is a very good idea and since there's enough notability there already, I'm not going to argue or remove the sources. Others might, so you will want to be careful about using them.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Gary North & Savages

Dude, thanks for the revision on the section heading. I've thought about the passage upon which the section is based, but couldn't figure out (because the stuff is too complex) what is really being said. What did North mean when he said Indians were slave holders? Was he referring to popular beliefs that tribes would raid other tribes and accomplish captures for various nefarious (in our eyes) purposes? Indeed, did this stuff actually take place? Was he referring to the popular belief amongst American Blacks, that Indian heritage is part of many families? (There is, I believe, DNA verification for this belief in many cases.) My head spun!! Well, I realized that my difficulty came from the lack of secondary sources which might have discussed North's writing. Okay, I thought, the real Wikipedia problem is the usage of the Primary source in the section. So I instituted changes (and the RFC). Still, does your "Colonial Era" revision to the section heading resolve the issue? It may offer some clarification, but the Primary Source issue remains. But I do thank you for this bit of enlightenment as to what North was talking about. – S. Rich (talk) 05:11, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
