MOS:REPEATLINK
Hello, I saw that you added repeated links to the Guggenheim Museum article. Please review MOS:REPEATLINK. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:21, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the note on repeated links - I was not aware of it but it makes sense. I just thought it was strange that there were links for the list of modern artists, except for two! Best, --GRDN711 (talk) 19:48, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Changing dates
Don't change from dmy to mdy just because you don't like them. See Strong national ties to a topic and Retaining existing format. Basically Canadian dates can be in either style and if the article is already in one style leave it like that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 06:54, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello CambridgeBayWeather: The Wikipedia topic on this states the case well - “Date and time notation in Canada combines conventions from the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, often creating confusion.” I didn’t change the date format at Cambridge Bay because I didn’t like it; it just sounded a awkward when I spoke it. I made the changes intentionally but with good intentions. Thank you for making me aware of Strong national ties to a topic and Retaining existing format. I now understand your point and will leave date formats in Canada alone going forward. I see you are editing all over Canada as well as creating a number of good topics on places in the Far North. Thank you for your comments - --GRDN711 (talk) 21:30, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I have determined that you will be affected by certain blocks and have given you this so that it will not affect your ability to edit.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation.
