Disambiguation link notification for February 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Deborah Poynton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anti-apartheid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Do you have a source for that?
I apologize if you were offended by my tone. But again, you have no source for your position. Wikipedia policy requires a source for what is obviously original research. Anyone familiar with Silicon Valley would not take the position that Gilroy or Morgan Hill is part of Silicon Valley. I was swift to respond to what was clearly an unsupported edit because I care passionately about building a better encyclopedia. As one of the most legendary people in Silicon Valley once said, "He cared, and I cared. I always said yes." If you had to look that up, you are out of your depth. Please defer to the experts on this one. --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:28, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for responding Coolcaesar. Wikipedia has a policy about not naming the editor, you accused me of vandalism which is not fair. I assumed you were a newer editor, but it seems you're not. I did make a mistake on rolling back your edit, I agree that Gilroy is not traditionally considered Silicon Valley. This article however has a section all about other surrounding areas related to Silicon Valley (that includes Gilroy), any change to WP warrants a clean up of that section with citations. I don't have time for it right now, in grad school. But I support your changes, please add citations before making them. Also please stop with the rude accusations "Please defer to the experts on this one." you don't know me and I don't have energy for trolling behavior. We all care passionately about building a better encyclopedia, you're not the only one here. Jooojay (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
