Chronological concerns

[edit]

Shouldn't the "Ceremony information" section of the article precede the "winners and nominees" section? I am of the opinion that articles should retain some sort of chronological order. The "pre awards" section, a sub section of the "Ceremony information" section, talks about the events that led to the nominations being announced. Although WP:MOS and WP:LAYOUT articles don't really talk about the chronological order of an article, I believe that it is very important. @Jamie Tubers: Since you undid the chronological edit I made to the article, I'd like to know the reasoning behind your decision. versace1608 (talk) 23:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Versace1608: The article is a list class article; The table of winners and related stuffs are the most important thing in this article. The ceremony info story is just for further reading. Other awards ceremony are arranged this way as well. I didn't even know you are the one that formatted it that way as I didn't go through the edit history.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 04:51, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's no big deal Tubers. Thanks for the information. Get to try out my new signature on this talk page. :) Versace1608 (Talk) 04:54, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking Comment

[edit]

@Jamie Tubers: According to WP:OVERLINK, links should only appear once in an article, except when helpful to readers. Is overlinking Apaye and A Northern Affiar relevant to readers' understanding of the table? I personally don't see the importance of linking these two films repeatedly in the table.

  • You misunderstood the guide. The overlink means that: irrelevant words, everyday words, things most people are likely to understand etc should not be linked at all. You can link words as many times as possible in a single article. It is infact very important to link every subject in any table (in any kind of article) .........and ultimately in a list class article. Take this scenerio for example: Assume I'm a cinematographer and I'm reading this article - a movie wins best makeup category (that's the first appearance and it's freelinked), i couldn't care less. the same movie turns out to win achievement in cinematography. Now I'm keen about the movie and I wanna find out more....unfortunately, it isn't linked in that category. So, I have to start looking for the first appearance of the film on the table? What can be more tedious to do for a reader? Analyzing a table is enough stress, now they have to start searching for words in a puzzle-like table? lol.
You can check this similar featured list article: 76th Academy Awards - You can see every actor/movie/category is linked at everypoint of appearance.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 02:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
First off, I didn't misunderstand the guide. According to WP:OVERLINK, "a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." If you are repeating Apaye and A Northern Affiar, then it would imply that they are helpful for readers. It doesn't imply that I'm wrong in what I'm saying. @Davidwr: what do you think about Tubers linking the aforementioned films repeatedly in the article's table? I am asking you because of this edit you made to the Olamide article. Versace1608 (Talk) 03:43, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This quote: "a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead" is coming directly from Overlink. You are not reading the whole section in full. I know what most of the section talks about, but this particular statement quoted has to do with linking.
