rough work

I restored some links
I restored some links in entries for individuals whose articles had been deleted.

These individuals were known by so many names. But they each have an unique ISN. Removing the ISN x for a captive is, in my opinion, a mistake. Even if an individual's article has been deleted we still want to be able to use the "what links here" feature to see which other articles talk about them.

unexplained tag
User:Cresix left this tag in May. I think it is too vague to be helpful. I went to User talk:Cresix, to request they expand on their concerns on the talk page -- and found that they appear to have resigned not long after leaving the note.

After a reasonable period of time, if it remains unexplained, I think this tag should be removed. Geo Swan (talk) 11:43, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

identity confusion
Someone piped wikilinks to Placeholder name. This is precisely why wikilinks to subsection heading should be banned from article space.

The article Placeholder name may once have had a subsection. If so, someone else came along, and removed that subsection, or gave it a different name. The wikimedia software, as currently implemented, provides no warning to a contributor, when removing or changing a subsection heading will break a link.

I changed this to point to Fnu Lnu (JTF-GTMO) -- a redlink. Is this a likely article topic? Maybe -- when someone documents the dangerous identity confusion at Guantanamo, due to their laughable inability to distinguish between men with the same name. Geo Swan (talk) 12:47, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
