Disambiguation should not be confused with the merging of duplicate articles (articles with different titles, but regarding the very same topic, for example "Gas Turbine" and "Gas turbine", or "loo" and "restroom").
Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are only on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).
Pure disambiguation pages should only contain interlanguage links if a similar problem of disambiguation exists in the target language; that is, they should not point to a single meaning from the list of meanings but to another disambiguation page.

 The Diggers (Levellers)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
The Diggers were a group begun by Gerrard Winstanley in 1649 during Oliver Cromwell's England which called for a total destruction of the existing social order and replacement with a communistic and agrarian lifestyle based around the precepts of Christian Nationalism, wishing to rid England of what they called the Norman Yoke.
Early in 1650, however, hemmed in by harassment and trouble on all fronts, the movement collapsed and St George's Hill was vacated, much to the relief of the local freeholders.
The name 'Diggers' was revived in San Francisco for a radical guerilla theater group, offering street theater, information and free food during the hippie movement associated with the Haight-Ashbury, 1965–68.
