Carnegie Heritage Centre and geog context

Until such time as some other similarly-named establishment has a Wikipedia article, or is redlinked in one, my understanding of the system is that there does not need to be a disambiguation in this article title. Plenty of articles on organisations or structures give no indication as to their geographical location, and as long as this is clear in the opening sentence it is not a problem. I've just stub-sorted Army Air Forces Bombardier Schools, which until I amended it didn't mention "United States" in the opening sentence. By your logic its title should probably have been United States Army Air Forces Bombardier Schools. (I very often find myself having to add "United States" to opening sentences, as there seems to be a tendency among some editors to think of WP as an American encyclopedia!).

Disambiguation link notification for December 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Barrow-in-Furness Main Public Library, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carnegie Foundation (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:19, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Note. I still need to check "The Times" (the source in question), as Carnegie set up various charitable foundations. -Alan (talk) 13:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Notification of proposal to ban Spanish articles from Did You Know?

Dear WikiProject Spain member,

There is currently a proposal to ban articles concerning a large area of southern Andalusia from appearing on the Main Page of Wikipedia in the Did you know? section. This would affect a significant number of articles within the scope of WikiProject Spain. If you have a view on this proposal, please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs‎#Proposal for one-year moratorium on Gibraltarpedia DYKs. In addition, you may have a view on an alternative proposal to lift restrictions on Gibraltar-related articles on DYK - please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs#Proposal for lifting the restrictions on Gibraltar-related DYKs.

Colina Municipality, Falcón moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Colina Municipality, Falcón, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
