Samf4u, I came across the word "cottaging" in the Edward Heath article and, as I had no idea what it meant, I clicked the link, and saw that it meant frequenting public toilets for the purpose of sexual encounters. To save future readers the trouble, I put an explanation in brackets after the linked word. In what way is this unconstructive? Which policy should I read to show me the error of my ways? I have reverted your revert. 95.44.50.222 (talk) 15:56, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 95.44.50.222 and thanks for your note here. The link itself explains the term making your explanation redundant. - Samf4u (talk) 16:35, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Samf4u, I disagree. It should be possible to read to the end of a sentence without having to click a link in order to understand it. The linked article provides more coverage and that's fine, but it's not a substitute for an explanation. 95.44.50.222 (talk) 17:38, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if you disagree but it simply isn't done that way. Take it up with Charles (talk) if you like, he reverted it too. I see you have made many constructive edits and hope you continue to do so, Cheers - Samf4u (talk) 18:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland protocol[edit]

If the person reading this is the one who just revised the Northern Ireland Protocol article, thank you. I forgot to check for orphaned references. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:20, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome, John Maynard Friedman. I always register big red error messages in the references section. 95.44.50.222 (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
