I don't mind the belatedness; I have used Wikipedia for quite a long time and only recently bothered to make an account for myself, so maybe I'm the one who should be sorry for belatedness, under an utterly weird sense of fairness. What really matters is more that things are done than when they are done (within limits, of course). Isaac Dupree 20:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank you for mentioning in your edit comments to the article that Olive Borgatti deserves mention. I did a drive-by edit of the article last week and made sure she was included the corporate structure section since she was the company president from 1966 until her death in 1990. --Oddharmonic (talk) 19:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Yay! Edit-comments pay off again! —Isaac Dupree(talk) 01:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
"Fixing" links to redirects
[edit]For what it's worth, links to redirects (like [[alpha particles]]
) are considered WP:NOTBROKEN, and don't need to be changed to something like [[alpha particle]]s
. In some cases, they actually shouldn't be changed. Hope that saves you some sweat in the future Ibadibam (talk) 23:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
