One link

You removed *one* (not many) duplicate links I didn't see at that small section. Was that such a big deal to have to send me a second note? Just remove the one duplicate link, which you did, without having to rub it in with another note. "Thought you were done at a few, but then you kept going." Yes, after I found others, although some were duplicates I didn't see placed earlier in the article. There is nothing wrong with "then kept going" in a long article with many nouns and terms that I thought were unlinked and important to link. Nobody's perfect, and if I unknowingly made a duplicate error, just silently remove it without a snarky comment, and keep going to another page to look for duplicate links or errors.

Hello again, Katydidit. Like I noted on your talk page, I removed more than one duplicate link you added, whether you saw that they were duplicates or not. So as for "*one" (not many) duplicate links [you] didn't see at that small section," you must be referring to this revert. Furthermore, WP:OVERLINKING is about more than just duplicate links. And the "thought you were done" WP:Edit summary comment came initially; it was not "another note." The second note that I sent you, meaning on your talk page, was to clarify to you where the external female anatomy terms in question are first linked and was to inform you that we generally should not link within quotes (I saw that you had linked within a quote as well). You feel that the "thought you were done" comment is snarky. Okay, I understand that. But I feel that you, having been editing Wikipedia under your Katydidit account since 2006, should already know about these guidelines. It's not about whether or not you are perfect (and, hey, I don't always agree with the "link it only once" approach either, especially for long articles); it's simply about being more experienced with regard to your Wikipedia editing. Going by the fact that your user page (not your talk page) is currently a red link, and the fact that you were overlinking, I was under the impression that you are new to editing Wikipedia. And in some ways, you are. Seeing your talk page, there are core Wikipedia policies and guidelines that you seemingly didn't know about until recently...and likely more that you are unfamiliar with. Perhaps you should take some time to become better acquainted with Wikipedia policies and guidelines? I think that you should take it in stride, instead of with annoyance and/or offense, when someone is trying to help you follow those guidelines and policies. I also apologize for offending you.

On a side: Since I started a discussion about WP:OVERLINKING on your talk page, there was no need for you to start a discussion on my talk page about it. In my opinion, it is generally best to keep a Wikipedia talk page discussion on one talk page. When I comment on an editor's talk page, unless issuing a message with regard to vandalism or other unconstructive edit via a vandalism tool, I usually check back to see if that editor has replied and/or I briefly put that editor's talk page on my WP:Watchlist so that I will know if that editor replied. The Human sexuality article, which we are discussing, is also on my WP:Watchlist. I was not there reverting you because I generally "look for duplicate links or errors."

Also, I see that I informed you of the WP:OVERLINKING guideline two years ago. Have you not been abiding by it since then? Flyer22 (talk) 20:34, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
