881:, where I realized that I was guilty as charged, and had also fallen into this particular state of sin). In my opinion, Knowledge (XXG) culture is a little bit too heavy on the "evo" side, and ignores the "devo" side, leading to a lot of articles meeting the dress code, but not the need. I'm in complete agreement with the Knowledge (XXG) standards for articles that actually get there. So either a process begins to bring my addition into conformity (an ultimate evo standard with which I wholly agree), or it gets immediately removed (a devo standard which I regard as short-sighted). 22: 2525: 1186: 3122: 2945: 2600: 2175: 1605: 1421: 1263: 687: 286: 608: 102: 2906: 212:"One could argue that circadian regulation itself almost deserves to be regarded as a part of the visual system: we track night and day for the in large measure for the sake of synchronizing our wakefulness with optimal seeing conditions."

Your page merely listed different routes or kinds of slave trade, and did not disambiguate anything. It was therefore incorrect and a misapplication of disambiguation guidelines to create this page, which you would probably have discovered from a discussion on the matter. 2410:

You're completely right. My apologies. In the moment, it just didn't occur to me that slave trade could serve as a useful inbound link to history of slavery. I just assumed someone had made the link long ago, and it was basically moribund. This is actually a classic cognitive error. Almost all of my

Citations are great. I care about the befuddled reader first and foremost. Knowledge (XXG) suffers from stiff-upper-lip syndrome. We aren't allowed to say "if you search for dual-link DVI splitters you won't find much (as of June 2017), infer from this what you will". So between the two edicts, we

make such a choice myself. My gut response to slave trade being used as an active, inbound link to history of slavery was that it was simply too weird and dysfunctional to exist if anyone else with a working brain knew about it (read what I just said carefully: quite simply—now that you've reminded

If I switch on a light, clearly 0% of that comes from renewable sources like wind and solar; because they haven't reacted to the light, they just put out a continuous amount of power, based on the weather etc. so there's no marginal contribution from renewables, and it's just the fossil power that

OK, I think I realize where the confusion is now. You are making a statement explaining that the term "dual-link" does not mean DVI can be split into two separate DVI signals to two separate DVI monitors. While that is true, it's not necessary to point this out to the reader. You are assuming that

Likewise the slave trade redirect page itself could contain text (or an HTML comment) to warn the next speedy dunderhead that this is, for the time being, a known sand trap. Less facetiously, one could hat note—perhaps at section level: "slave trade redirects here; for specific slave trades, see

Welcome to Knowledge (XXG)!! I removed that tone tag, as the page has been copyedited fully 8 times and both statements are referenced. As a a middle-aged, white male from a G7 economy with a long career in a STEM profession, I am curious as to why you think the tone is needed.
