Talk:APEC China 2001

Links
Not sure why an editor is giving me so much pushback for unlinking four linked instances of Untied States in this article, but per MOS:REPEATLINK we should not be linking the same thing more than once in an article. Also, per WP:Overlinking, we should not be linking United States AT ALL, but in good faith I've left the first link alone. I understand that my initial edit summary only indicated my removals of USA per MOS:NOTUSA, but I have explained the other relevant guidelines here and on my talk page.

 * This is an article about an international conference at a moment of historical importance; even normally needless links such as USA are helpful to (actual core policy here) WP:READERs and they shouldn't have to poke around the article to find which mention is actually linked. You only came by because you were misapplying MOS:NOTUSA to a situation where it was entirely irrelevant; that's been dealt with; and you're more than welcome to continue your productive work elsewhere instead of edit warring to reduce the usefulness of an article you have done very little to improve. (That said, thank you for your generally more useful work and for noticing that the Chechnyan link needed to be disambiguated.) — Llywelyn II   16:07, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This is hilarious, NO ONE is going to follow these links to the United States, but obviously the studies that went into the creation of WP:Overlinking aren't resonating with you. I see that you've also linked "collar" and "sleeve", and "terrorism" and "China" are linked more than once. You may want to consider linking "plane" and "country" a few times in case someone with a head injury is reading your article.— TAnthonyTalk 16:12, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
