Linking...
Hi... Thanks for your edits on United States. It is good to have words appearing in articles linked to other articles in Wikipedia. However, the guidelines for linking say that only the first instance of a word should be linked... for example, Alaska appears in the first paragraph and is linked there, so it doesn't need to be linked elsewhere in the article. Thanks! and Welcome!   Wikipelli Talk   14:10, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipelli Talk
Hi again... I saw your linking in The Super Power (TVB). The goal of linking the word 'alien' in the first paragraph is good, but if you look at the link closely you'll see that it leads to what's called a 'disambiguation page'. This page is there because the word 'alien' can mean many different things. What you should do, is find the page that you really want the reader to go to when they click the word 'alien' and link to that. In this case, the link should look like this:  alien . What this will do is display the word 'alien' but link it to the article related to Extraterrestrial life. This prevents the reader from having to follow 2 different links. :)   Wikipelli  Talk   14:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

You might also want to have a look at the Wikipedia help section on overlinking. Cheers!   Wikipelli Talk   14:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! I edit Wikipedia too, under the username Wikipelli. Wikipedia is written by people like you and me, so thank you for taking the time to participate. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to World War III with this edit, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions about editing, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!   Wikipelli Talk   14:55, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Mainland policy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colonie (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.

Disambiguation link notification for March 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sengoku period, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Siege of Odawara. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Repopulate Ming Dynasty Maps???
Hi Alvin, did you by any chance make this map of the Ming dynasty in 1415???

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Ming_Dynasty_1415.png

I am writing to you because I am seeing the Czech guy's toxic map that depicted the Ming dynasty in 1580 everywhere across Wikipedia, in fact he has taken liberty and actively changed the French, Japanese, Dutch, Russian, Vietnamese, and even Trad Chinese map of the Ming ALL to his map. This extreme persistent attempt at misrepresentation disturbs me greatly and I am wondering if you could have to power or you would spend some time to put your maps in all of those pages. As an academic who has to sit and only see his maps sitting there (everywhere) for two years is very frustrating.

Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mingdynastyavenger (talk • contribs) 10:54, 1 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I did not make that map, unfortunately. But I agree on what you said :) --Alvin Lee 00:34, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
