Correspondence of Charles Darwin edit
Hi, you've been editing Correspondence of Charles Darwin#List of notable persons with whom Darwin corresponded and keep trying to add
Patrick Matthew (author of On Timber and Arboriculture, 1831). As you can see, that's a red link because the article is located at Patrick Matthew. Since they exchanged a few letters, it's worth adding him to the list but the red link doesn't achieve anything.
Sorry not to have contacted you earlier, but things have been hectic. Effectively we've been edit warring, and The three-revert rule means it's time to leave it alone for a bit: cross that bright line and you're liable to get blocked.
So, I suggest you think about undoing your own last edit to restore a working link to Patrick Matthew. If you've other proposals, make them at the bottom of Talk:Patrick Matthew, preferably in a new section. Any questions, you can always contact me at my talk page, dave souza, talk 08:12, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- After leaving it a day, I've now restored the working link so that Matthew is on the list in the same way as Darwin's other correspondents. Hope that suits you, thanks for adding his name to the list. That's helpful in building up a more complete indication of the notable people who exchanged views with Darwin. . .dave souza, talk 08:59, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
