[edit] Links

Hi Hector,

Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Free links. It isn't helpful to link every word. For example, this edit didn't improve the article in question at all. In another example, you linked MMORPG Runescape when the correct link, RuneScape, was indicated one line above.

In short: read the Manual of Style, try to make sure your links are relevant, and try to link to the right article.

Hi. I'd like to ask you to be more careful and vigilent when wikilinking. I noticed you've been working through Wikipedia:Deadend pages, and several of your edits aren't fixing the articles. You often create links to individual words of a phrase (e.g., University of California, when it should be University of California), or you create links of the same word throughout an article (e.g., Europe in this edit). The idea of Wikipedia:Deadend pages is not just to make links, but also to cleanup the article, since many not-so-good articles appear on the list. See this discussion. Like the above comment in February suggested, please read and follow the Manual of Style on links. If you have any questions, please ask me. —Markaci 2005-04-25 T 14:42 Z

Hector, I see that you continue to overlink articles, such as [1], in which you link to the letter A two times, and several other terms that really don't need to be linked to. Those additions don't add any value, and actually make the article harder to read. Please only link to terms that are actually relevant to the article. Also, when adding unknown dates to year articles, please follow the guidelines used on other year pages. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:18, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
Hector you continue to overlink articles: [2]. The links to the initials A.V.C.C. are completely unnecessary and unhelpful. Let me stress that these edits are not helpful to other editors, and actually create misleading context. I know that you are just trying to go through Deadend pages, but you will be much better served by only linking to encyclopedic topics. Why don't you try categorizing these deadend pages and marking them as stubs when appropriate? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 17:32, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
Hector. Your recent edit [3] shows the same pattern of behavior. I can't tell if you honestly think that you're improving these articles, but I assure you that many of these edits are more disruptive than helpful. Please respond to me on my talk page, and explain your methodology, or I will open an RFC against you. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:48, May 5, 2005 (UTC)


Hector, your edits to "Gordon E.J. Hoke" and A.R. Bernard Sr. appear unnecessary. I believe you are still over-linking these articles with Rev. being linked to in the A.R. Bernard Sr. article are over the top and are not improving the article. Several other pages which you have edited are plagued with red-edits. Would it be possible to preview your edits and write short summaries to edits on all your pages. TheTallOne 23:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Hector, your edits to the articles between 20th and 23rd February 2006 are unnecessary and I do not believe that you are taking in the comments met on this page. You still repetitively repeat linking the same words over again and links to surnames of the people in which the article is about is irrelevant. Art is linked to numberous time in the article Art Rupe which links to the subject of Art, rather than the person, Art Rupe. Theoretically, they should not be linked to at all as they should if they are to be linked, lead to the very article you are editing. TheTallOne 21:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Hector, Please desist from this behavior immediately. You have been warned about this in the past. If you have questions about the appropriate level of linking, ask a more experienced admin. Your recent edits are not constructive. --DDG 21:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2880 edit

Your edit to 2880 is not logical. First, an article there would have to be about the year 2880, not the number; the proper title for an article about the number is 2880 (number). Second, your statement that it is the smallest number with 36 factors is not true, 1260 is. Third, your edit was simply no more than a simple substub. Georgia guy 23:56, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Actually it wasn't Hectorthebat who replaced the redirect with a false statement. Look at the history. DanielCristofani 11:02, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] edit summaries

It would be helpful if in your edit summaries you put something as simple as +Shane Mack. cheers, Kingturtle 16:04, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removal without comments - copyright violations.

Please do not remove redlinks from the Catholic encyclopedia missing articles project without comments as to why you are removing them. I have notified admins and will be watching for other changes. I have also noticed that some of your contribution have been identified as copyright violations from the Oxford Dictionary of Saints. Please only use public domain sources such as the Catholic Encyclopedia which is freely available. Reflex Reaction 13:54, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

One more thing. If you do use the Catholic Encyclopedia as it looks like you are starting to do, please put {{Catholic}} at the bottom of the page. This will let other people know that the text is from a public domain source and not a copyright violation. But you should also know that direct text dumps are not the best way to add information to wikipedia. Please edit and modernize the articles, thing have changed alot since 1908. The instructions at the Nuttall Encyclopedia project are also excellent if you are looking for guidance. If you do not have time to edit the article, please put {{cleanup-date|October 2005}} at the top of the page so that other people know to clean up your work, though it is best if you can clean up after yourself. Thanks and keep contributing. Reflex Reaction 14:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Hector thank you for wikifying and adding {{cleanup-date|October 2005}} to the articles you create from the Catholic Encyclopdia; it will make cleaning up the entries easier, but it is always best if you can clean up after yourself. Can you please be more selective about what information you put into wikipedia from the CE? Not all of the entries in the CE should be in wikipedia because they cover such specialty information and often have very POV info. Most of the articles are not up to date, either syntatically or the information they have. The CE's strengths for entry into wikipedia are often historical persons such as Saints or other Catholic persons who have made contributions outside the religious sphere such as Richard Bulstrode who is in both the 1911 version of the Encyclopedia Britannica [4] and in the Catholic Encyclopedia [5]. You may want to start at this crossover list for places to compile information from when creating articles. If you use information from the 1911 encyclopedia use the {{1911}} template --Reflex Reaction 21:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your contintued work incorporating information from the Catholic Encyclopedia into Wikipedia. But I would again remind you to please DO NOT put dump text from the site into the pages. The Catholic encyclopedia was written at a different time and with different motivations than that of wikipedia. The material is simply not appropriate as it is from the site. You can use both the {{1911}} if you are going to use both sources for writing the article, which I had hoped that you had done. Can you also be more selective about words that need to be wikified, not everything is directly relevant to an article.

If you are interested in another project where material can be taken directly from a website, wikified, and be a much more complete article please contact me. Thanks, --Reflex Reaction 15:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting Amitz

Hi, because you were involved with the article, you may want to look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amitiz (2nd nomination), best wishes, IZAK 14:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out removing signatures from articles. Lately, it seems like I've been the only one really doing it. Keep it up! -Royalguard11Talk 16:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arne Løchen

A tag has been placed on Arne Løchen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Georg von Kopp

Hi Hectorthebat,

I noticed you recently created the article about Georg von Kopp. I just wanted to let you know that you can announce any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. That way other users interested in the topic can see them and might improve them.

You may also be interested in the WikiProject Germany.

Thanks,

--Carabinieri
