Link style edit

Hi Jordan Mendelson,

thank you for fixing the spelling error here. However, modifying the qulliqs link is unnecessary and cumbersome, see H:WIKILINK where this is explained in the apples example.

Gah. I completely forgot that it did that. Thanks for the note. Jordan Mendelson (talk) 20:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Linking to other articles edit

Hey, when you do edits like this one, can you make sure the links are directing to an actual article, and not a disambiguation page?   Thank you very much! --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hmmm. Yes. It should have occurred to me that existing links might never have been checked before because the unknown parameter errors had prevented them from being shown in the infobox.
Well, tomorrow I have a fair number to go through then.
Thanks! Jordan Mendelson (talk) 04:33, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

October 2022 edit

  Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Freedom of religion in Russia seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. tgeorgescu (talk) 22:41, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

In general: if you think there is a problem in an article, you fix it. You don't just wantonly delete information from our articles. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:27, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello User:Tgeorgescu. I considered the text unfixable as it consisted only of two opinions in a non-encyclopedic tone and a fact that had already been stated in the previous paragraph. Removal appeared to be the only way to bring the article to a more neutral point of view and remove unnecessary duplicate information in an already long page. Cheers.
