Removed entries for places in the United States

I removed many redlinked entries for towns in the United States in an attempt to follow the Manual of Style for Disambiguation Pages. The entries I removed were linked only from this disambiguation page, and the linked county articles for those entries did not mention the towns and therefore provided no further information about them.

Names back here?

Does anyone else think we should put given and surnames back into this disambig page? --Knulclunk (talk) 01:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

As there has been no response, I will proceed.--Knulclunk (talk) 17:35, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Seperate Names

I see that names has been split off from Ash. Why would we want this? It causes a double step for every bad Ash link, hindering the purpose of a disambiguation page. --Knulclunk (talk) 04:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the problem is that you recently merged the name pages into the disambiguation page. That's not the (currently) proper procedure. I only noticed because you made several mistakes in templating.

Only procedure for editors familiar with Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy. An "as per WP:WPNAMES" linking to that project in your comments could have helped. The biggest offender is Ash Ketchum who is most frequently linked as just Ash. Let's restore it to your version for now. --Knulclunk (talk) 04:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Back when we started splitting the name definitions from the disambiguation pages in 2006, we always left the notable names behind. But the consensus changed, and now they move the name links, too. It's just a simple extra step for disambiguating, not a big deal.

Nutrient

What is the ash that's listed as a nutrient?129.133.206.180 (talk) 06:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Soot

What's the difference? Maybe add a link and brief explanation in the see also section 80.189.85.4 (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

An issue with volcanic ash

The inclusion of volcanic ash here is problematic, since this article discusses ash as solid residue from burning something. Volcanic ash has a hot source, but nothing actually burns to produce it; it's just a result of fragmenting magma or rock. I'm sort of inclined to move it to See Also, since it's sort of the odd one out among the other forms of ash listed here, but I'd like to hear feedback.

Great information in French

It would be great if someone can expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in French. That page looks great, but I don’t know French.

Heavy metals

In the article:

“High levels of heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and copper were found in the ash debris” of wildfire.

However, for ash derived from wood and plant matters , there’s almost no mention of heavy metals. If natural wood ash really doesn’t contain much heavy metals, then where do the “high levels of heavy metals” in wildfire ash come from? This article will need addition of this content, supported by sources. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 15:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
