[edit] dates

Hi, good work on the decommissioned AFBs in Michigan. One thing about dates though, in general there is no need to link year-only dates (in the past, there has been little consistency on this, but recently the trend has been to only link to a year if the year article has pertinent information). However, because people can set preferences for how full dates are displayed, these need to be linked in order for the preferences to work properly. That is, there is no need for a standalone link to a year like 1959. But if the date includes a month and a day, like 22 May or 1965-12-01, it should be linked in order for the date to display according to user preferences. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) for more details. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 12:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, please don't do links for standalone years, or repeat links unnecessarily. See WP:MOSLINK for a lot of material on this. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
In the Camp Hale article, I'm removing some of the year links you added, for the same reasons. Also, with regard to other terms, the general rule is to wikilink only the first occurrence. In a long article, a wikilink might be repeated for convenience, but there's no need for this in a short article. JamesMLane t c 16:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kibbie Dome

I see you have done a lot of work on this page and was wondering if perhaps you might know the answer to this question. Neale burned after 69 season and it states that Idaho played the 70 season in Pullman WA. Yet WSU stadium burned in April of 1970 and from what I have found in other sources WSU played in Spokan until Martin was open. Do you know where in Pullman Idaho played also was the Kibbie Dome called Kibbie field or stadium from 71 to 74 before the dome went on thanks for any info Smith03 02:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dan Monson

Hey, you've done some great work on the Dan Monson article. I nominated it for Good Article status not too long ago, and got some recommendations and whatnot. I'm hoping to nominate it again soon, so I was wondering if you had anything else good to include in the article, or any references for older information so we could get it to GA status. Thanks! matt91486 05:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] College baseball

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College baseball related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college baseball WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you!

[edit] City/town

Thanks for working with ID55-related communities! One thing, however: by law Idaho municipalities are all cities, so please don't change "city" to "town", even when there are just 138 people in the community. Nyttend (talk) 15:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
