[edit] Proposed merge

All you can do is Put TAGS: Wall framing.

You will NEVER be an Admin.

Plus Timber framing is Nominated for Featured Status. --Paracit 08:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)^[1]

I am not an expert in construction. I noticed we had several articles on framing techniques and that you were creating one which looked similar to those, so I proposed it be merged. Someone with more expertise on the subject such as yourself can then say yes, no, or propose a different merger target. Please assume good faith and try to be civil even if you disagree with someone. —dgies^t_c 08:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

{{overlinked}} - please fix all those red links, most of those topics exist, but at different titles. I am also talking about this tag you put on the article I created! --Paracit 19:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

When you created the article, you made many links to titles which do not exist, but can be found at slightly different titles. This needlessly caused a lot of red links and violates the manual of style. I tagged the article because it needed cleanup, but I didn't feel it is my responsibility to clean up your own mess. —dgies^t_c 19:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 8 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wall framing, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Red links

In the future try to only link articles that provide relevant context to the article at hand. Some of the red links in Wall framing, did have articles, just have to search for them. Links all over an article can be distracting, so you don't want to link every concept either. The links should enhance the reader's experience not hinder it. Try to keep these things in mind when editing and you won't go wrong. For now I have merged the wall framing article with the others, it has the makings of good article, I kept the longer ones separate, such as Timber framing and redirected Wall framing, balloon framing, platform framing and light frame construction to Framing (construction).

But try to keep that red link stuff in mind as that was the second time I had to remove a bundle of overlinking from the text that was wall framing. Thanks. IvoShandor 11:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
