[edit] Manual of style

You mentioned date links in the Manual of style. My position is that in most cases, the date links are unnecessary and only put there by people that misunderstand date preferences. Feel free to remove unnecessary date links.

You may wish to make use of a 'Dates' tab in edit mode that will help with unlinking unnecessary date links. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. It also provides a 'Units' tab.

[edit] Down syndrome

Hi, Mglg. You are correct, and I owe you an apology. Because of the way you juggled the text and the paragraphs — and because the vandalism along with everyone putting their hand into the pot has been out of control — I misread, was too quick on the trigger, and thought you were deleting a chunk of text, and replacing it with unreferenced text. (I'm not happy to see that the text wasn't referenced to begin with, but I didn't review that article when it was at FAC, as I was traveling.) Now that I've reviewed it more closely, your edit makes complete sense, except I'm wondering why you dropped the text that says (bolding mine), "Pregnant women can be screened for various complications in their pregnancy, or due to risk factors such as advanced maternal age" ? I think everything else stayed the same, just got moved around. Let me know, so I can re-instate your edit (so you won't run into 3RR). Or, if I don't hear from you tonight, maybe you can reinstate it before I get to it. Once again, I'm very sorry for misreading. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 01:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation - since the original FA author isn't around to explain what was wanted in that portion, I'll reinstate your edit exactly as you had it. Thanks for understanding ! (Better check to be sure I get your edit reinstated correctly.) Sandy (Talk) 02:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I think I got it - let me know if I goofed anything. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 02:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Good - sorry for the all the extra typing you had to do! Sandy (Talk) 02:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
