Disambiguation link notification for July 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rocket Lab, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Beck (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.)

Ways to improve Elizabeth McLeay

Thanks for creating Elizabeth McLeay.

A New Page Patroller Ajpolino just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for your contribution! It's not clear to me from the article whether the topic meets WP:NPROF (or maybe WP:NBIO is more appropriate here?). So if there are other sources/material out there that you could add to make it clear that she passes those guidelines, that might save you and other editors some time down the road. Happy editing!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
