User talk:Linklad73

November 2010
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Scary Movie 3, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. — Mike  Allen   11:27, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Linking
Linklad73 - While I apppreciate your enthusiasm, the edits you made to The Times and Democrat and other articles have not conformed to Wikipedia's guidelines on linking and in some cases have been equivalent to vandalism. I would caution you against continuing in this vein; if you continue to make similar edits, it is likely that you will be blocked from editing. There are plenty of articles which could benefit from being appropriately wikilinked to other pages which will help a reader understand the topic. You can find more information on this and similar clean-up tasks here. Thanks, -- Kateshortforbob talk  11:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Linklad73 - I have reverted your three most recent edits as you have:


 * linked words which don't need to be linked - linking to the article Blue from Copper benzoate is an example of overlinking
 * linked words repeatedly or added links for words which are already linked earlier in the text. Generally, an article will only be linked to once from another page
 * linked parts of words. Linking three letters of "pair" to the article on air is not correct
 * used piped links to direct readers to articles which are vastly inappropriate: linking "prison facilities" to extermination camp, for example

If you link any more articles in this fashion, you will be blocked for disruptive editing. -- Kateshortforbob talk  16:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
