[edit] Blanking page

If you are planning to be a regular member of the wikipedia community, blanking talk pages can be seen by some as a sure sign of someone who is not regularly in complete understanding of how we communicate within the project of making an online encyclopedia. SatuSuro 23:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayors of Perth

You have introduced a few wild cards there, I would strongly suggest that you look at each link that you have created there, and perhaps re-consider how you might improve the edit. SatuSuro 23:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Redundant repetitions are usually edited out without mercy - City of Perth was all that was needed - as it contains sufficient qualifiers, the next four links are not needed! SatuSuro 23:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop

You are introducing something in all those pages which are considered redundant repetitions. SatuSuro 00:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OK

Welcome!

Hello, Steve Stefan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! 

Please note I havent checked each entry

  • - but you have gone into the pags and reverted the 'see also' - and added unnecessary links.

In the case of The Perth one, City of Perth is all that you need to place there - the following links/qualifiers are not needed... the qualifier which you are adding externally is sufficiently covered in the city of Perth link

Also please do not add my messages from here back to my talk page - it is not needed. Thanks SatuSuro 00:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


Hi Steve,
I think what SatuSuro is trying to say is that too much context creates redundancy. For example, I understand why you want to link to both Western Australia and Australia, but "Western Australia, Australia" reads terribly. I've reworked the lead sentence in List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Perth; consider doing the same on the other mayoral lists you've updated.
Also, you may not be aware that there has been strenuous disagreement recently over whether years should be linked. The manual of style says:
"There is consensus among editors that bare month and day names should not be linked unless there is a specific reason that the link will help the reader to understand the article. There is less agreement about links to years. Some editors believe that links to years are generally useful to establish context for the article. Others believe that links to years are rarely useful to the reader and reduce the readability of the text. Another possibility is to link to a more specific article about that year, for example [[2006 in sports|2006]], although some people find this unintuitive because the link leads to an unexpected destination."
but this paragraph fails to capture just how strongly some editors fell about it. The issue seems to have lapsed into an uneasy truce whereby each side promises not to link or delink years en masse. If you don't want someone to bite your head off, it would be advisable not to link years en masse until the dispute is resolved.
