Whom were you addressing?
[edit]In a recent edit summary], you wrote: IS IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO MARK NAMES/PHRASES TO CROSS-LINK OR DO YOU DO THAT? Whom were you addressing in that question? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:17, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Nicely done
[edit]Re: this edit: I see you learned that Wikilinking lesson well enough. You went a bit overboard though. Common terms (such as "inventors" don't need to be linked. And links, such as Emerson (there are a lot of Emersons) need to be made more specific, using that piped link syntax I showed you: [[Ralph Waldo Emerson|Emerson]]
. That will bring readers right to the correct page without needing to spoil your narrative flow by using the full name. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 03:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
