Good morning 108.73.115.180 --Peterdownunder (talk) 01:39, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It says you are from Australia on your userpage. Congratulations on the win against Brazil in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. 108.73.115.180 (talk) 01:42, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I missed that one. :) --Peterdownunder (talk) 01:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding links![change source]

Hello, and thanks for adding links to so many of our articles! I know there are a lot of places that need that.

I just wanted to mention one that I noticed: you added a link for "enemy" like this: [[Enemy|enemi]]es. When you make a piped link like that, the entire display word (in this case "enemies") should be inside the brackets, like this: [[Enemy|enemies]] -- that's the standard way of handling piped links. It's only when the displayed word is the linked term plus more characters and you don't need the pipe at all that you would leave some characters outside, like this: [[dimension]]s. Make sense? --Auntof6 (talk) 05:53, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. 108.73.115.180 (talk) 05:54, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Robin Williams[change source]

I undid this edit that you made to Robin Williams. Although cutting one's wrists is a method of committing suicide, it is not the same as committing suicide. When you add links, please be very careful not to link to something that is different in meaning from what is in the article. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is not necessary to make changes in order to get rid of red links. If we don't have the exact article that a red link calls for, we can wait until we do. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

links[change source]

Don't link words that are in the lists of simple words, or which everyone knows. Most simple words do not need links but, if they do, they should be linked to wikt (wiktionary), not to this wiki. Example: find. Cheers, Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or for a different point of view, if there's an article here, it's perfectly fine to link to the article, and it's best to limit links to Wiktionary. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
