  I would like to add links (presumably Wikipedia links?) to the article on Joseph Bondarenko to remove its orphan status. Do the links connecting need to contain Bondarenko's name? For instance, he was a Soviet dissident, and there is a Wikipedia page regarding Soviet dissidents, but it does not mention him by name. Does it need to mention him by name? May I edit that page to include his name, and then connect the pages? There are other problems listed concerning the Bondarenko page that I believe no longer apply, but I am not confident in my judgment. Finally, I somehow interfered with the code for the graphics for my welcome message - I am horrified. So sorry! Thank you. Wordsmith411 (talk) 04:38, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello Wordsmith411, I'm not sure whether you got an answer to this. Certainly you may add Bondarenko's name to relevant articles, provided that it is an appropriate addition to make. To make the link, ensure it is entered as Joseph Bondarenko . I'm sure your judgment will be as good as anyone's. WP:ORPHAN is a page about "de-orphaning" efforts. I hope this helps Noyster  (talk),  12:57, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
