Why doesn't "Wellington" link here?

The entry for "Wellington" links to Wellington, New Zealand. The first sentence of that page is a link to this page. This is in keeping with standard Wikipedia practice where one use of a term is by far the most common. See other national capitals like London, or Paris to find similar examples.

While I think the current setup is correct I think a bit more prominence should be given to Arthur Wellesley. In many areas of the world he will be the primary reason for someone to enter "Wellington" in the search box. His listing on the disam page behind many towns (and even a capital city) named in his honour seems a bit wrong. His historical significance, in my opinion at least, in the English speaking world is so great as to warrant a 'top of the page' link on the disam page and the Wellington page. Thoughts? --LiamE 13:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded on the opening sentence to explain the history of the name, linking first to Arthur Wellesley, but also to Wellington, Somerset. That makes a lot of sense because that history applies generally to many of the Wellingtons. I don't agree with putting a special mention of Arthur Wellesley at the top of Wellington page. He's mentioned in the history section, after all.

I've added another link, under the title, because I didn't see the top sentence. Others may do likewise. I would support adding him to the dab header at Wellington because a lot of readers will be dumped there looking for him; most Wikipedians aren't from New Zealand.

I think people searching for the Duke by article name are likely to search for "Duke of Wellington". I think there's an argument to make Duke of Wellington redirect to Arthur Wellesley and maybe move the existing article to Dukedom of Wellington.

That seems an excellent solution. --LiamE 08:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
