Link style[edit]

Hi Jordan Mendelson,

thank you for fixing the spelling error here. However, modifying the qulliqs link is unnecessary and cumbersome, see H:WIKILINK where this is explained in the apples example.

Gah. I completely forgot that it did that. Thanks for the note. Jordan Mendelson (talk) 20:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to other articles[edit]

Hey, when you do edits like this one, can you make sure the links are directing to an actual article, and not a disambiguation page? Thank you very much! --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Yes. It should have occurred to me that existing links might never have been checked before because the unknown parameter errors had prevented them from being shown in the infobox.

Well, tomorrow I have a fair number to go through then.

Thanks! Jordan Mendelson (talk) 04:33, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Freedom of religion in Russia seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. tgeorgescu (talk) 22:41, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In general: if you think there is a problem in an article, you fix it. You don't just wantonly delete information from our articles. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:27, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Tgeorgescu. I considered the text unfixable as it consisted only of two opinions in a non-encyclopedic tone and a fact that had already been stated in the previous paragraph. Removal appeared to be the only way to bring the article to a more neutral point of view and remove unnecessary duplicate information in an already long page. Cheers.
