Edit reversion

[edit]

Dear Smuckola

I'm puzzled by your reversion of my edit of City workhouse castle. It seems you may prefer the Internet Archive version of Encyclopaedia Britannica to the on-line version on s:EB1911. The [EB1911] version is more accessible, reads more easily and is the preferred source for Wikipedia. To call that "wrecking" is a bit over the top. Where I might agree with you is the absence of a strong need for the short [EB1911] addition that I made to external links.

Might I ask you to read and reflect on the this policy issue shown at WP:WikiProject Encyclopaedia Britannica. I hope then you might agree to my re-instating the amendment to ref. 6.ArbieP (talk) 20:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ArbieP: Whooooops. I'm sorry, my friend. I look at things very very very carefully, so this almost never happens. I didn't look at this one as closely as I thought I did. I have never used the EB templates before, and when I followed the link (in mobile mode, barf), I thought I was looking at just the normal Kansas City, Missouri article. So I thought your citation provided *no* link to the EB source. Furthermore, it looks like a good template, with a complete citation. Regarding "absence of a strong need", nope there's clearly zero need whatsoever, which is why it's negated in WP:ELDUP and WP:ELNO, so please remove that EL anywhere else. External links only exist as sources which either must become citations or else official signpost links like {{Official website}} type of templates. Thank you so much. — Smuckola(talk) 00:57, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
