Talk:List of street medic organizations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Two concerns
Two things: Why do some names have asterixes in front of them? If someone at some point changes the asterix thing, be sure to change the links in Street medic that link to those headers, or they'll become broken links. Also, I think it's against WP:MOS guidelines to have links in headers. Maybe we could expand the stubs to have at least a sentence about each one, and link the name in the sentence? If there's not even that much to say about them, we may be running into WP:NOTE issues. Anyway, nice work, folks! Peace, delldot | talk 00:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I'm waiting for Gobblehook to finish their work on the article, and not see any edits from that user on the article for a few days before I move in and start cleaning up the article. It is indeed against the Manual of Style to include links within the headings. It is spelled out at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings): "Avoid links within headings. Depending on settings, some users may not see them clearly. It is much better to put the appropriate link in the first sentence under the heading." As far as notability goes, I agree - we may be running into WP:NOTE issues, and I plan to address this while cleaning up the place. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- Good, thanks. Looking back on the article, I'm still pretty uncomfortable with the WP:NOTE issues. Also, I'm not sure a lot of these organizations are verifiable. I'd propose finding at least one non-trivial mention in independent, reliable sources for each one and removing the ones that we can't find one for. I'm especially thinking we should remove the headers with nothing after them but an expand template, and especially especially the ones with a question mark after them, which suggest to me it's not certain whether they exist. delldot | talk 17:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
