I hate how the "this page is blank" thing is longer than a single line is. JoshJGT 22:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikilinking dates
Noticed your recent edits to Juliette Gordon Low. Good that you wrote a lead section. However, in doing so you Wikilinked a number of dates, e.g. 1913. Please note that this is considered overlinking: see WP:DATELINK, WP:YEARLINK. I've edited them out of your lead section for the JGL article; this is just so you'll know on future edits. Thanks.

 * The lead was already there, but was rather terrible. I don't generally edit wikipedia that much, but a friend pointed to that page and it clearly needed it - and nothing was linked (not even the names, boy scouts, etc.) so I linked everything. I'll note this for future reference. Incidentally, that article has 20/22 citations from one book and reads like a book report. JoshJGT (talk) 03:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, I wouldn't have called the original first paragraph a lead at all, and neither would the person who added the leadmissing template at the top (which I removed, since you'd written one).
 * I agree that the writing in the article is pretty awful. I've tried to fix some of the worst problems&mdash;stuff out of chronological order, maundering anecdotes, promotional material, and English that read like a Google translation from Korean&mdash;but it still needs plenty of work.
