What is the appropriate way to link to articles in different languages?
Hi Theras, I noticed this reversion and I've seen similar reversions across the project by editors and bots, but it's not clear to me what the appropriate methodology is for adding language links to articles. Can you point me in the right direction so I can help educate these users? "Use Wikidata" is confusing. Thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there, heh, I'm not sure I'm the right person to be asking, but you see the "Languages"-tab on the left of your screen, underneath are an "edit link" where one can add WP in other languages, perhaps you'll find the Wikidata-page more informational. TherasTaneel (talk) 22:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah! Well that's certainly a good place for me to start looking, and I am somewhat an idiot for not thinking to click on the sprocket. :) Thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Np and nah, it's a small thing - easy to overlook. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:54, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

"Night"
Do you have any reliable source for your strict time period definitions? In common parlance, if someone died "in the night," he might well have died before midnight. Possibly the person went to bed before midnight, was found dead in the morning, and the exact time of death was not or could not be established. Mewulwe (talk) 14:19, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No and I don't know anyone who does. It served to illustrate an example; that they might as well have written evening, yet they didn't. Thus without further details and/or an obituary ad, "natten til lørdag" makes it the 3rd, you don't see such ambiguousness as you suggest in other articles. TherasTaneel (talk) 14:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * They might also as well have written "early on Saturday" yet they didn't. So without further details, it's ambiguous. If you don't see such in other articles, it's because usually there is an unambiguous source and when there isn't, someone is likely to fudge it just like you are doing (certainly the probability is in favour of the later date, as it covers more of what may be considered the "night"), but that doesn't make it right. Mewulwe (talk) 22:25, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * True - so, let's say the family of a deceased write a certain date in an obituary ad, gets it chiseled in a gravestone and published in a biography, without the absolute certainty of the exact moment of death, as in the examples above. In such a case, do you still suggest to leave it ambiguous indefinitely? TherasTaneel (talk) 22:48, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If we know the family don't know it, then yes. Just like we want to record actual birth dates, not some "official" date we know to be inaccurate. However, in the typical case I would accept obituary ads or gravestones, as it is likely enough the family knows the date; it may just not have been precisely reported in the press.
