Interlanguage links
Hello, why are you removing interlanguage links from articles? Largoplazo (talk) 09:56, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, Largoplazo! I remove them if they are either wrong, either already present in Wikidata entry. In the case of Mariology of the saints the links were wrong, they were for Mariology and not for Mariology of the saints. --Lagelander (talk) 10:02, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I see what you mean. Thanks. Are you taking into account whether the article on the other wiki at least as substantial information on the subject in question? These links are useful when there isn't a one-to-one correspondence among articles but the information is available in the other language under a related subject. (In the case of Mariology of the saints, I checked fr:Mariologie and, indeed, I did not see anything about Mariology of the saints, so I have no argument with that.)

 * I'm trying to check this, and when possible to create redirects and connect them to Wikidata entry. As far as I can see at a guideline Sitelinks to redirects this is what should be done when there isn't a one-to-one correspondence among articles. --Lagelander (talk) 10:59, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to say this edit could have been labelled nicer. It wasn't on Wikidata, you added it literally before your second edit. The summary made the implication that my edit was incorrect and it was always there. Canterbury Tail talk 11:47, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry. I have created a stab article in Dutch wikipedia because before it was incorrectly redirected to the article about Picts. Yes, my comment should be clearer, sorry. --Lagelander (talk) 09:23, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Hi- For some reason, RedWarn did not include my additional note to you with this template post, which was: Thanks for fixing my "fix". It would be helpful to your fellow editors if you would leave edit summaries. In this case, it would have saved both of us time. Eric talk 13:27, 30 September 2021 (UTC) Hello! I also ran across your profile and was initially very confused, and suspicious of possible vandalism. Looking through your edit history, many of your edits have no, or vague, comments so I would like to add my opinion also that a clear description of the motivation for edits is very important in helping fellow editors. It is very strange to see an account which goes to seemingly many random, unrelated pages and deletes dozens to hundreds of lines from each. Your edit history is just hundreds of articles with removals, while the behavior of most Wikipedia editors involves predominantly additions mixed in with some deletions. To help avoid confusion from other Wikipedia editors like myself, I'd like to suggest that you write a bio on your user page describing your unconventional editing patterns and your motivations. From what I could gather from this talk page, it sounds like you are mostly interested in editing Wikipedia in ways that relate to edits you make on WikiData, is that correct? Thank you!

 * Thank you! I will. --Lagelander (talk) 15:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
