Alternative names
Hallo, the bolding of alternative names in the lead of an article is supposed to be so that when a reader is redirected from one of those names they can see why. When you add alternative names, please remember to provide incoming redirects (or sometimes dab page entries or hatnotes): I've done so for Jean Zaleski. Making these redirects not only helps readers find the article and makes it less likely that a future enthusiastic editor will create an accidental duplicate article, but it quite often turns existing red links blue where someone has already been linked, perhaps in a list of award winners using the fullest formal version of their name. Redirects are simple, cheap, and incredibly useful! Thanks. PamD 22:39, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @PamD: - I'm really pleased that our paths have crossed again. I created Jean Zaleski yesterday during an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon in Malta. My intention was to return to it asap to continue making it work properly and your input is most welcome. Your contributions are, as ever, enlightening. Many thanks! --ToniSant (talk) 08:36, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
