I had cleared a link to Lala Kara Mustafa Pasha to prevent a possible name resemblance. But the creator immediately reverted my edit. I hate warring. It would be much better if the creator had asked for my rationale. Anyway, I'd like to make my point clear here. In the text Lala Kara Mustafa Pasha attacked Corfu during the 1715-1718 war. But the link target is about a Lala Kara Mustafa Pasha who lived between 1550-1580. Obviously these two people were not the same person. (Please check the target link) One think more: According to Nicolae Iorga the name was Kara Mustafa Pasha. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:01, 30 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
But I did ask for your rationale: A wikilink irrelevant? How so?. In your original edit you did not provide a detailed edit-summary so I reverted. With your new explanation your rationale becomes clear and there is no problem. What is this talk about edit-warring? There will be none. Indeed thank you for your clarification. I will also correct the name of the Ottoman leader per your suggestion. Best regards. Δρ.Κ.λόγοςπράξις 09:55, 30 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
