About linking of London

@Lugnuts: Can somebody please give a proper rational reason as to why we can't link London? In every other cricket series page prior to this London has been linked... Every venue in every series page is linked so why not London? Please help me understand the logic behind not linking London... Thanks in advance... 😃 Cricket246 (talk) 20:42, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess WP:OVERLINK applies in this case. Although there's the paradox that if nothing links to London across WP, it becomes under-linked... Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's exactly what I wanted to imply... Everywhere the venues are linked so why London should be an exception? Moreover London has been linked in all previous cricket pages so there's no rationale behind suddenly not linking London in this page... It should be linked according to me... That makes it more informative I guess... Cricket246 (talk) 08:17, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the harm in linking to it (for completeness, if nothing else). I know that I'll never click on it, but someone, somewhere, might be interested in reading about (my) nation's capital from a cricket tour page. Helping the reader can't be bad. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:21, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely agreed with you... Making the site more informative for readers is really important... There may be people who might wish to find out more about London and any other venues as well... And also it's right that linking it contributes to the completeness and also helpful for a larger section of audience who might wish to read more about venues... So linking London is a much better option... Cricket246 (talk) 08:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalous IP address

The IP address of 92.238.250.250 has been causing multiple malicious edits to sections of the page. Since I am not an administrator, I cannot administer a warning to him/her. Just wondering what we should do about this as his/her edits have been reverted by several people but they keep coming back. Linkiscool99 (talk) 12:43, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
