Query re reversion

edit

I made some changes, mainly to improve coverage of the subject's ancestry, including increasing the prominence of the stud farm they created and ran for the best part of a century. This was promptly changed such that the same link is repeated in successive sentences, which violates WP:OVERLINK. It now reads:

...Her daughter Anne (born 1837) married the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and set up the Crabbet Arabian Stud; their daughter Judith Blunt-Lytton was Noel's mother. He was raised just east of what is now the modern bustling Sussex town of Crawley, in the mansion built by his maternal grandparents on the grounds of their renowned horse farm, the Crabbet Arabian Stud.

The version I proposed is:

...Her daughter Anne (born 1837) married the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and set up the Crabbet Arabian Stud; their daughter Judith Blunt-Lytton was Noel's mother. He was raised just east of what is now the modern bustling Sussex town of Crawley, in the mansion built by his maternal grandparents on the grounds of their renowned stud (horse farm).

It would be a bonus to link to stud farm in the final phrase. I am not sure why this change was made, and would invite another editor to remove the duplication. BrainyBabe (talk) 22:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
