Excessive tagging
This was unnecessary. Such tag bombing is considered a form of disruptive editing: it does not help the project. Instead, tag an article with the two or three most important tags. Once those issues are sorted out, if more issue exist, they can be noted. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
