If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Belbury (talk) 08:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Actually you seem to be doing this a lot. Changing the first mention of a person's name into a link to that article doesn't do anything, it doesn't make it a link because it would just be linking to the page that you're already reading.
 * What are you trying to do there?
 * More generally, I'd recommend you read MOS:OVERLINK - common phrases and country names generally aren't linked in Wikipedia articles, so you shouldn't see that as something to fix. Belbury (talk) 08:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Ho Ching. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Per MOS:OVERLINK please do not add wikilinks to country names and nationalities.

Problems with links
I see you have already been warned above about links in articles, and unfortunately there are still problems with links you have been adding. Some of the links you have been adding link to articles on totally irrelevant topics. For example, in the article MesoWest, in the expression "commercial firms" you linked "commercial" to the article Commercial driver's license, even though the mentioon of "commercial" has nothing whatever to do with drivers' licenses. Likewise in the article Generalized least squares you linked "scalars" to Scalar curvature, which is on a completely different subject. I can only assume that you don't know what scalar curvature is, in which case you should not try to makes edits related to it. Other links you have added are not on totally unrelated subjects, but are simply not helpful. Generally, a word or expression in a Wikipedia article should be linked to another article only in one of two circumstance: either the word or expression is one which many readers need to have explained in order to understand material in the article they are reading, or the linked article has further information related to the topic of the article where the link is. Nobody reading the article Scott Nichols is likely to need to look up the meaning of "salmon" in order to understand content of that article, nor does the article Salmon contain any information about Scott Nichols, so there shouldn't be a link to Salmon. Please don't add any more wikilinks to article until you have significantly more experience of editing Wikipedia, so that you have more of an idea as to what is appropriate.
