Hi Joe, and welcome to Wikipedia! I saw you were editing a lot of hyperlinks, so I just wanted to encourage you to read WP:MOSLINK, which is Wikipedia's guideline on hyperlinks, and to please beware of MOS:OVERLINK. Thank you and happy editing.--JBchrch (talk) 10:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Job demands-resources model, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Impairment. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Overlinking (contd.)

Hello, please stop overlinking (especially plain English words) and read Wikipedia's guidance on the subject. I have undone many of your edits. If you continue to edit without indicating that you have responded to these messages, you may be blocked. Graham87 03:12, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello , Graham. Can you please explain me my mistakes? I go to Wikipedia:Community portal and in the Help Out section i do Fix wikilinks. This way i am helping the community while learning the wikipedia rules of editing. I am very careful with the over linking. I read every page i fix in order to link it to the relevant pages. I disagree that i link plain English words because i ve read the rules and know that they cant be linked. Also you undone edits where i contributed to the articles - fixed references, expanded an article. Why? Regards, Joe0824 (talk) 22:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Words like "playwright" and "judge" are indeed common English words and links to them are not necessary; they distract the reader from more valuable links on the page. I used a mass rollback script to undo many of your edits; I did not notice any of your article expansions, partly because you didn't use edit summaries, but I won't reinstate this edit to Walter Scott. The Orlando Bible Church is by no means a reliable source on Scott because it has no reason to claim any expertise on him. In your other edits, you also removed a good reference without an explanation and changed "recognise" to "recognize", in violation of Wikipedia's guidance on English variety changes. Why are you making so many edits, anyway? Your editing pattern is highly unusual. The typo team is a less controversial maintenance area with guidelines that are easier to understand and apply than those about linking. Graham87 06:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Graham87, yes you are right. "Playwright" and "judge"are not needed. I just found it interesting that Sir Walter Scott was a judge while being a great writer so that was my motivation behind linking it. In general, i understand your point and i agree that i made mistakes overlinking. To defend myself, i just want to say that before i started editing i read guidance on the subject multiple times and was following the guidance. Now i will reread it again. I agree - Orlando Bible Church is not a reliable source. Ok, i thought "recognise" was incorrect spelling, wont change it again and will read guidance on English variety changes and typo team, thank you. I removed a good reference without an explanation because this reference was used twice in the same sentence. Why i am making so many edits? Because i want to learn how to edit wikipedia and i read somewhere on the internet that the best way to learn is to go to Wikipedia:Community portal and HELP OUT. So i got a bit obsessed with it. Sorry Joe0824 (talk) 19:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

It's alright ... I wonder where on the Internet you learnt this though. I assume you're behind the recent edits to the "Nelson Saiers" article ... I've removed the link to "theorem" added there and undid the edit with a ref to Twitter, because that is not a reliable source. Please do not add links to well-established articles; their writers usually added links judiciously and there's generally no need to add more. Please go to the teahouse if you need more help with Wikipedia. Graham87 04:44, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
