Overlinking

Several of your edits have been reverted by different users, so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we do not normally link:-

Everyday words understood by most readers.
Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
Common units of measurement and dates

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, eastern is clearly a common word, so should not be linked, and we do not link parts of titles, or names, such as you did at Franco Angeli - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 11:37, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
