Welcome to my user page! I'd thank you not to delete/change anything in here without my permission! I'm obviously a ðWoT fan! Needless to say, I'm a bibliophile. But I will try to help Wikipedia as much as I can. I am somewhere from 5 and half years old to 87 thousand years old. I became a member in the year: A.U.C. (1*) (Latin) 2759 and I live in a universe. To see what organizations I'm a member of on WP go here or to see who I've "adopted" go here. I'll come around to making some more stuff for this later quite possibly never...
(abbr. Latin.): ab urbe condita (from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.]) or anno urbis conditae (in the year from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.)
When a link in Wikipedia leads to nowhere, it is displayed in red to alert our editors that it requires attention. A red link can mean one of two things:
The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link needs to be removed or renamed to point to an existing article.
A new article is needed. When a Wikipedian writes an article, it is common practice to linkify key topics pertinent to an understanding of the subject, even if those topics don't have an article on Wikipedia yet. This has two applications:
From within an article, such a link prepares the article to be fully supported. At any time, a Wikipedian may independently write an article on the linked-to subject, and when this happens, there's already a link ready and waiting for it. The red link also gives readers the opportunity to click on it to create the needed article on the spot.
In topic lists, it is useful to include every topic on the subject you can possibly find or think of. When they are turned into links, the list immediately shows where the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage for that subject are, since all of the topics missing articles will show up in red. Such lists are useful tools in developing subject areas on Wikipedia, as they show where work is needed most.
... that author Ron Chernow was reluctant to write a biography of John D. Rockefeller until being shown a 1,700-page transcript of three years' worth of private interviews with him?
