Using ambiguous keywords for affiliate work on the internet is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though treat with common sense, and occasional exceptions will apply. When an article title refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. Resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, the term should be a natural title if more than one article or product is being promoted. In other words, distinct paths leading to different articles which could, in principle, have the same title. Example, the word “Mustang” can refer to several different things, including a horse, a plane, or an automobile. Since only one page can have the generic name “Mustang”. There must then be a way to direct the reader to the correct specific article when an ambiguous term is referenced by linking, browsing or searching; this is what is known as unambiguous keywords. In this case it is achieved using Mustang.

Two methods of using ambiguous keywords are:

* ambiguous links: links at the top of an article (hatnotes), that refer the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts. * ambiguous pages: non-article pages that refer readers to other articles.

Keywords are required for a given word or phrase on which a reader might use the “Go button”, there is more than one article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. In this situation there must be a way for the reader to navigate quickly from the page that appears on hitting “Go” to any of the other possible desired articles.

There are three principal scenarios:

* The page at Mustang is a unambiguous page, leading to all the alternative uses of “Mustang”. * The page at Rice is about one usage, called the primary topic, and there is a hatnote guiding readers to Rice to find the other uses. * The page at Tiger Woods’ is about the primary topic, and there is only one other use. The other use is linked directly using a hat note.

When there is a well-known primary topic for an ambiguous term, name or phrase, much more used than any other topic covered to which the same word(s) may also refer, then that term or phrase should either be used for the title of the article on that topic or redirect to that article. If the primary topic for a term is titled something else by the naming conventions, then a redirect for the term is used. Any article which has primary usage for its title and has other uses should have a unambiguous link at the top, and the ambiguous page should link back to the primary topic. Similarly, any article which has primary usage for a name that redirects to it and has other uses should have a “such-and-such redirects here” link at the top, and the ambiguous page for that name should link back to the primary topic.

There is an extended discussion about which article is the primary topic, that may be a sign that there is in fact no main topic, and that the page should be located at the plain title with no “(disambiguation)”.

Some primary topics are redirected to a different article. An example, the primary topic for “Danzig” is the former German city of that name, but that city’s article is titled Gdansk. There also is Danzig a music group name that started in 1987 in Lori, New Jersey. As you see keyword specifics are very important in bringing the traffic to your page, product, or article. If there are three or more topics associated with the same term, then a page should normally be created for that term (in which case disambiguation links may or may not be desirable on the specific topic articles – see below). If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary. However if there are two topics for a term but neither is considered the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is used.

For disambiguating specific topic pages by using an unambiguous article title, several options are available:

1. When there is another term (such as Billiards instead of Pool) or more complete name (such as Saturn cars instead of Saturn)that is equally clear and unambiguous, that should be used. 2. A unambiguous word or phrase can be added in parentheses. The word or phrase in parentheses should be: * the generic class (avoid proper nouns, as much as possible) that includes the topic, as in Mustang (Ford automotive), Seal (mammal); or * the subject or context to which the topic applies, as in Union (set theory), Inflation (economics). 3. Rarely, an adjective describing the topic can be used, but it is usually better to rephrase such a title to avoid parentheses. 4. With place-names, if the term is a higher-level administrative division, it is often separated using a comma instead of parentheses, as in Newark, New Jersey (geographic names).

There can be several possible choices for a class or context, use the same phrase already commonly used for other topics within the same class and context, if any. Otherwise, choose the simplest. For example, use “(mythology)” rather than “(mythological figure)”. If there is a choice between using a short phrase and word with context, such as Mathematical analysis and Analysis (mathematics), there is no hard rule about which is preferred. Both may be created, with one redirecting to the other. The phrase in parentheses should be treated just as any other word in a title: normally lowercase, unless it is a proper noun (like a book title) that would appear capitalized even in running text.

Searching for what turns out to be an ambiguous term may not reach the article they expected. Therefore any article with an ambiguous title should contain helpful links to alternative articles or pages, placed at the top of the article. A single ambiguous page may be used to disambiguate a number of similar terms. Editorial judgment should be used in deciding whether to combine terms in the ways described above. If a combined disambiguation page would be inconveniently long, it may be better to split the different spellings into separate pages.

When a combined page is used, redirects to it should be set up from all the terms involved. The title of a page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. When a page combines several similar terms, one of them must be selected as the title for the page with the tag added if a primary topic exists for that term; the choice should be made in line with the following principles:

* A word is preferred to an abbreviation, for example Arm (disambiguation) over ARM. * When no word can be formed all capitals is preferred. For example, the disambiguation page for “ddb” is DDB not “Ddb”. * English spelling is preferred to that of non-English languages. * Singulars are preferred to plurals. * The simplest form of the term is preferred to those containing punctuation, diacritics and articles; for example SA is preferred to S.A., and Shadow (disambiguation) is preferred to The Shadow (disambiguation). * The spelling that reflects the majority of items on the page is preferred to less common alternatives.

Each page comprises a list (or multiple lists, for multiple senses of the term in question) of similarly-titled links.

* Link to the primary topic (if there is one): * Try to start each entry in the list with a link to the target page. * Each bulleted entry should, in most every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link; including more than one link can confuse the reader. * Do not pipe the name of the links to the articles being listed. * Only include related subject articles if the term in question is actually described on the target article.

Pages are not a list of dictionary definitions. A short description of the common general meaning of a word can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context. A page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion. The descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are on pages of sister projects, even if the page already exists.Do not include references in the pages; pages are not articles. Incorporate references into the articles as needed. Before constructing a new page, determine a specific topic name for all existing pages, and the name for the disambiguation page. Move any page with a conflicting title (i.e., the same exact title) to its more specific name. Use the What links here list for the moved page to update pages that link to that page.

When an article has been moved to make way for the page, use the link list of the moved page to access the redirect page created by the move, and replace that redirect page with the new disambiguation page. Use the new unambiguous page to find and replace any old links in existing pages with a link to the new page. A set index article is a list article about a set of items of a specific type that share the same (or similar) name. A set index article is not a unambiguous page, and need not follow the formatting rules for those pages. A set index article is meant for information as well as navigation: just like a normal list article, it can have metadata and extra information about each entry.

At times there will be a page and a set index article for the same term. Another similar type of page is the multi-stub article. This is a page containing brief, stub-like information about a number of similarly-named topics, such as saints with the same name. Like set index articles, these pages are not subject to the disambiguation style guidelines. A double is a link to a disambiguation page from another disambiguation page. This kind of disambiguation is typically more specific than one with a simplified name. This kind of disambiguation is relatively rare on Wikipedia.

When a more specific title is still ambiguous, but not enough so to call for it should redirect back to the main disambiguation page (or a section of it). This aids navigation, and helps editors to avoid creating new articles under the ambiguous title by accident.Pure ambiguous pages should contain interlanguage links only where a similar problem of disambiguation exists in the target language; that is, they should not point to a single meaning from the list of meanings, but to another disambiguation page.Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

If repairing a link, use pipe syntax so that the link does not show the new qualifier. A shorter alternative is to use empty pipe syntax, also known as the pipe trick. This allows editors to leave out the piped alternative. Ambiguous links are periodically checked and repaired, but even if some ambiguous links remain, one of the primary reasons for making a unambiguous page is so that following such links will still be useful to the reader.

There’s tools to facilitate ambiguous link repair in the Python Wikipedia Robot. The bot offers to update links to choices listed on the page. Creating links to ambiguous pages is inaccurate. Links should instead point to a relevant article. The purpose of a disambiguation page is to give a user who has typed an ambiguous term into the search box a list of articles that are likely to be what he or she is looking for. To link to a unambiguous page link to the title that includes the text, even if a redirect – Example, link to the redirect North America (disambiguation) rather than the target page at “North America”. This helps distinguish accidental links to the unambiguous page from intentional ones.

The start of popularity of online poker USA has had a hand in dramatically changing the game of poker for the world. Once a sport well dominated by its few key players, there was very little a novice player could do to improve their game aside from the risk of losing a significant amount of money against other better players over an extended period of time. Physical venues, also known as Brick and Mortar venues, can be overwhelming for many and have traditionally kept many recreational poker players from trying a hand against more established players. Casinos and pokers rooms are also often located in rough parts of town, where many find it either inconvenient or simply do not want to go to.

Alot of US players poker sites operate as completely free sites and serve as tutorials to the game, helping those interested to pick up the game significantly quicker by offering tips and tricks to improve their odds. Of course, not all of these tips translate to an excellent player in a live setting, as online poker is in many ways an entirely different animal.

Much of a live game is dependent on picking up other players physical subconscious cues also referred to as tells, while being aware enough of your own actions to give few tells to other players, or at least purposely incorporate some as a means of fooling your opponents. The online version of poker, without sitting across from another player at a physical table, relies much more on non-physical tells such as betting patterns, chat box, speed of play and player reaction time.

After online poker USA started to catch on the biggest websites have employed different strategies to increase traffic to their sites. One such strategy has been to collaborate up with a live poker tournament, allowing the winners of an online ‘satellite’ tournament free entry into the big live competition.

The winner of the 2003 World Series of Poker, Chris Moneymaker, won entry to the competition via one of these satellite tournaments and essentially turned the world of poker competitions upside down. Since his great upset to the Poker world, the numbers of poker players online has dramatically increased as well as the number of contestants in live tournaments who gained entry from online poker tournaments, a few of which also went on to win major tournaments. Thanks in large part to Chris Moneymaker and the unfolding of the world of online poker, the allures of this game once monopolized by a much smaller number of key players has won many new followers and improving players.

Do you have an Xbox 360 that’s behaving oddly? If so this may be the precursor to a general hardware failure called the red ring of death. It’s either a problem with not getting enough power or it’s damage caused by excessive heat.

Here’s a list of the common warning signs:

1.) You see a message that states that the disc isn’t readable.

2.) Your console suddenly freezes up.

3.) The sound freezes or there are static like sounds.

4.) You’re seeing problems with the graphics. There will be odd things like checker patterns, pin strips, or anything that’s obviously not part of the game.

5.) The only thing working is the off button.

These problems may appear at random. They can also happen with increasing frequency with over time. If after experiencing any of these problems, your console flashes three red lights when you try restarting it, then you have the red ring of death.

The console will occasionally work fine again the next day you use it. It’s tempting to think that it’s only a temporary problem. But the hard truth is that you’ve got an intermittent problem that comes and goes. Each time you get the ring of death, your console may be accumulating more damage.

A good way to troubleshoot this is to first rule out the simple causes. One of these is that your Xbox is receiving inadequate power. Another possibility is that it’s overheating because it’s unable to keep itself cool.

Do you use your Xbox in an area that gets enough ventilation? Are you gaming for hours in a hot environment? Is there dust inside the cooling vents?

If none of these suggestions help then it’s time to get your console repaired. If your warranty is intact and you can stand the several week delay, you can ship your Xbox to Microsoft. If you don’t have an intact warranty, Microsoft will still repair it for a fee ($140-$150 or so).

A simpler and cheaper approach is repairing it yourself. If you want to get it right without damaging your console then buy a reliable guide ($20-$30) that has a money back guarantee. If you can work with simple tools and follow directions, this is your best option.

Producers know that a movie will either be a smash hit or a dismal failure during the first week it is released in theaters. As a way of boosting ticket sales, they will often do pre-screenings of new releases so media personal can get a preview of the movie. They do this in hopes of getting favorable television reviews and newspaper write-ups all across the country.

While Hollywood has brought us many, many motion pictures and it would seem that they would have an impression of just what will work to produce a best-seller and what won’t work, the fun and excitement for movie attendees and producers is the truth that you never can tell for sure. A certain actor starring in your flick may seem like a sure thing, until it is not. A certain kind of motion picture may seem like a sure thing, until it is not. Pick from the reviews below and download a great motion picture to watch this evening.

The Defiant came out in 1958. A preoccupying account of 2 escaped convicts, one black and one white who are chained together as they escape from prison in the South. Superior performances by Williams and Chaney as individuals they meet during the voyage. Academy Prize for screenplay by Harold Jacob Smith and Nathan E. Cast includes Tony Curtis, Sidney Poitier, Theodore Bike, Charles McGraw, Carnie Williams, and Lon Chaney, Jr.

Jerry Maguire is about Jerry an agent for a top Sports Management group. When he is terminated, he expects his client to come along with him as he sets out on his own. All of a sudden Jerry realizes that he has no sincere friends in this ruthless, dog eat dog, business. Down to one client and one assistant, Jerry fights to build himself a business.

A lot of us grew up watching “Bewitched”. Isabelle is a witch, living in the San Fernando Valley, and trying to not use her supernatural powers. She finds herself being wooed by actor Jack Watt to play the role of Samantha the witch in a remake of the old 1960′s sitcom Bewitched. What a weird and wonderful twist of fate.

If you saw 10,000 B.C. then you know it is about warlords that have attacked a small mountain tribe in prehistoric times. They have captured the exquisite Evolet. D’Leh, who loves Evolet, leads a small party of men ready to go the ends of the Earth to rescue Evolet.

The year was 1961 and “The Last Time I Saw Archie” was Webb’s single try at comedy and is less ludicrous than some of his more solemn films; a shame, since William Bowers’ script-based on his own Army experiences had indisputable potential, and Mitchum nicely underplays as the con guy. By the way, the genuine Archie Chamber sued for invasion of privacy. Cast includes Robert Mitchum, Jack Webb, Martha Hyer, France Nuyen, Louis Nye, Richard Arlen, Don Tangles, Joe Flynn, and Robert Strauss.

“Soup for One” hit the big screen in 1982. Occasionally triumphing although choppy presentation of single New Yorker Rubinek looking for his dream gal. Cast includes Saul Rubinek, Marcia Strassman, Gerrit Graham, Teddy Pendergrass, Richard Libertini, Andrea Martin, and Lewis J. Stadlen.

All through the world, the number one source of entertainment is perhaps viewing films. Films are beloved by everyone and they have the power to change our lives for the better and even for the worse. Films based upon true tales are always interesting and they help us to decipher life by watching the trials and tribulations of another person and their life. Fictional stories affect us the same way because they are commonly based upon real life experiences.
