[edit] Redundant Wikilinking
I'm of the opinion that wikilinking is hard to read, and redundant wikilinking, especially to the same page within the same paragraph, is unnecessary. To wit, I removed the most recent edit. However, I'd be happy if it was put back. I'm even happier that there are other people willing to work on this article! Gws57 01:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
