Another welcome to wikipedia
I just undid your recent edit at List of medallists. It was intended as sort of a learning thing. Notice that the lists are arranged alphabetically by the sculptor's name. If you wish to add to the list please find the right place to add the name. Also I am very close to removing all the red links in the lists. A name shows up as a red link because there is no article about that artist. The list is (or should be) a list of notable medalists, and on wikipedia "notable" often means that there is an article at the other end of the link. If you wish to add names to a list such as this one please consider creating a "stub" article. This is a short article about the subject, but it will generate a blue link. I have left all those red links as an incentive for folks to create articles but when I decide that no such articles are appearing, which could happen pretty soon, I will remove the red linked names. Also, if you put something, anything, on your user page your user name will appear as a blue link rqther than a red one, suggesting that there is something at the the other end of that link too.

 * Thanks for correcting me. I haven't noticed the ordering of names. The sculptor is a named one, he has a wiki page also, in French. Unfortunately I don't speek French so I am not able to translate the page to English.
 * Personally I don't agree with removing red link names. The collection of the names even only with birth and death dates helps me in my numismatic work. As time goes on all red will become blue ones, but if we have to collect the names again, this work will fail. Please reconsider your opinion on this.

 * Your argument is enough for me. Please do keep in mind that even if I (or now more likely someone else)  did remove all the red links, you could still find the names in the article's "history" tab.  I just wanted to know that someone had a plan or use for them and yours is good enough for me. Carptrash (talk) 15:17, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
