[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of an article. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --VVikingTalkEdits 14:36, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Your recent edit to Okpe appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:36, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking

[edit]

Hi DanielOgheneochuko - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Ogwa and Edo State, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in an article, and we do not normally link:-

  • Everyday words understood by most readers.
  • Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
  • Common units of measurement and dates (days, months and years)

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to improve the situation, not make it worse. Please read and follow WP:OVERLINKING - Many thanks - Arjayay (talk) 13:43, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
