Insults really necessary?
Line 11: Line 11:  
:::But this is an article about the continent, as you can clearly see because there is a ''different'' article about the moon.  The moon is certainly important, but it has its own page.  Do we really need an enormous image of a different topic on an article, when that article's text is less than a third of its size?--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 15:14, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

::::Are you really as clueless as the above post suggests? The article itself says that Europa is also the name of a moon of Jupiter. In sum, this is a disambiguation article in all but name. So, ''of course'' that extra image is appropriate. And does not the continent of [[Europe]] have ''its'' own page? No&mdash;this is an article about a word that can stand for at least two things and probably three. None of these things is necessarily more important than any other.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 15:27, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

:::::Is it really necessary to get nasty?  We're trying to come to a conclusion here and work out a disagreement, so do you really think it is going to help matters to insult me?
 +
:::::This page doesn't look like a disambiguation page to me.  It looks like a page for the name "Europa" as applied to the continent in many languages, with "also" information about the moon and person tagged on.
 +
:::::If it's a disambiguation page, it should probably be ''made into one''.

:::::As for me, I am done with this.  I assume you won't be punished for making personal remarks, even though I would be, but that doesn't mean I have to continue to converse with you.  Again, you are free to do as you like.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 15:35, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
