Slightly incorrect AWB edit
Hi Chris.
I noticed you made this edit to Mazenod College, Perth using AWB. However, you changed "WA" to "Washington", when it quite clearly meant Western Australia. Just letting you know to watch out for that in future :) - Mark 05:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please exclude the articles in Category:Days of the year from your AWB assisted clean up (e.g. February 18). The linking of years in those articles is relevant to the content and purpose of those articles. Thanks. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 22:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Your AWB Settings
Please check your AWB tagging settings you taged List of Time Life Records Sounds of the Seventies as Orphan, and the page's History clearly shows an Editor and myself with very many, frequent and recent edits. You can change the tagging setting so that AWB doesn't tagg automatically. Mlpearc MESSAGE 15:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello. You removed all the country links in your recent edit. Can you provide a guideline or policy on linking to locations, please? Wikipedia:MOS#Geographical_items is being useless and I cannot find it anywhere else. I am not contesting your edit (yet), I merely wish to know what the correct use is. Also, you removed links from "Tokyo, Japan"; "Moscow, Russia"; "London, England" and other and left them linkless. You also removed "England" link on some occasions but not on others. I assume this edit removes links from "well-known" locations? — Hellknowz ▎talk 22:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- See WP:Linking#What_generally_should_not_be_linked. I don't see any cases where I left 'England' linked - they should all have been unlinked.Colonies Chris (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, I see now. Thank you for the link. I meant links, such as, Newcastle upon Tyne, England or Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England. I can see how AWB would skip these. Any chance of you doing the same to List_of_video_game_publishers and List_of_indie_game_developers to save some time?— Hellknowz ▎talk 23:22, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done - and I fixed a few bad links e.g. [[Geneva]], [[Illinois]] --> [[Geneva, Illinois]]. Colonies Chris (talk) 23:31, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
