Hi. When you recently edited ShotCode, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bullseye (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Zigzag (disambiguation)

Stop, please, or I will block you temporarily. There is no good reason to invoke IAR to overrule the Manual of Style; in fact, it appears as if you're plugging a certain person. Time to stop this slow edit war. Drmies (talk) 00:37, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
There's no "edit war". I'm not "plugging" Ted Nelson or anyone else. And, yes there IS a good reason to overrule the Manual of Style: it's a legitimate and useful edit. How is undoing a simple (and useful) link improving the page? Go block yourself! Lyla1205 (talk) 00:54, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your article submission Katz Drug Store

edit
 

Hello Lyla1205. It has been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Katz Drug Store.

Linking dates

edit

Hi, Lyla. I saw you recently linked dates in film articles, such as linking 1978 to 1978 in film. Generally, we don't do this, as it's considered overlinking and unintuitive. It's not a big deal, but I thought I would let you know. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:02, 30 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
