Any reason you are making dozens of redirects to Blanket sleeper? This seems quite over the top. Kukini 22:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikipedia can only redirect exact string matches. If there are several independent ways in which the spelling of something can vary, it results in a combinatorial explosion of different combinations. Anyway it's not like there's a namespace shortage, and none of the terms I added could mean anything else.

OK. Although please consider reading the above information. It will help you adjust into the wikicommunity with your efforts. Kukini 22:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
