Beryl

Yea, I reverted you because you were copying the information from the Hurricane Beryl draft that other users were already working on. Wikipedia only works if everyone's edits are accounted for. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

Hi Delectable1. Happened to see your notes on Jmabel's talk page. I'm not super interested in the issue but I'd just point out that if you don't think redlinks are appropriate at all, you probably need to argue that case (maybe at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)) rather than trying to remove them piecemeal. As of now WP:REDLINK is still a guideline, and it doesn't agree with you.

It's possible to argue the case that the rationale for redlinks is weaker than it used to be, and that they keep going on inertia, but if you want to do that you probably need to actually do it, rather than continue getting upset if you remove them and someone reverts you. --Trovatore (talk) 00:35, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool talking with you. Maybe it continues. As for links... I welcome your interest. 1. Red links do not belong in tables. What is the point? 2. As for them being anywhere, two points. a) They exist because when an article is removed the words are still there. Point blank. b) If they are to be more permanent then what is the criterion for such? Also there are other things on here (Wikipedia) which could (should) be solved. Among them two are the use of images and permissions. People on here object to any usage of first names when disambiguating names too. Delectable1 (talk) 06:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks that come from a link that pointed to an article that used to exist, but was deleted, should indeed be removed. The closing admin is supposed to clean that up, I think, but might occasionally miss some.

However that's not at all where all redlinks come from. Some of them are there because the person who added them thinks an article ought to exist at that title.

As for whether they should be in tables, I haven't thought about that much. You might look and see if WP:REDLINK says anything about it. --Trovatore (talk) 20:33, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2016 Alaska House of Representatives election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dan Ortiz. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December 2024

Hello, I'm Neveselbert. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Quincy Jones in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 17:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
