[edit] Date linking
The reason for linking dates is, mostly, so that user's preference for date format are used when displaying pages. Therefore, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) lone years are usually not linked, although this is up to an editor's discretion. As per this edit "16th November 2006" should be linked as [[16 November]] [[2006]] to give: 16 November 2006. Thanks, Rich257 08:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Check the diffs next time
If you look here you'll see that I haven't touched the text itself. So your edit summary was unnecessary. --Strangnet 14:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Preview
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --Strangnet 17:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
