Overlinking

Hi Ragingvanilla,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I was looking over some of your edits and while most of them are great, there were many repeated links in close proximity in an article. Try to avoid overlinking. Try to avoid overlinking, see WP:OVERLINK for details. Thanks, and happy editing! Rwalker (talk) 20:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! After reading in the Manual of Style, I went back and edited the articles I've created in an attempt to correct this. Best wishes, Ragingvanilla (talk) 17:52, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
