Linking

[edit]

An "anonymous editor" (who is very familiar with a lot of my work) has removed links twice in a row, claiming them to be redundant. I can sort of see that argument, but actually linking in the lead and then once again in the main body seems like a very reasonable approach to me. Especially as the article will be expanded further in the future and the linked items may move further and further away from their first links in the lead.

Very reasoable aproach?.. What does MoS say about this? And about owning an article? The next time I will be reminding you that you cannot be claimant and judge at the same time. (I feel like you are planning to block someone simply because you don't like others to row in your river...) --176.239.19.182 (talk) 21:16, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please direct me to the "rule" you are imposing? As you already know, MoS says nothing about article ownership as MoS is about styles of article, not editorial behaviour. And please, just log in to your account, that way you can move the page you wish to move and we can all re-discover who you are, instead of hiding behind an IP.

No, stupid discussion is one where you claim some kind of "rule" and quote "MoS" but then fail to prove any of it. Please feel free to log in to your account, by the way, to stop hiding behind this IP anonymity. What are you trying to hide? Are you a banned editor?

GA review

[edit]

The linking disputed above has been accepted in around 160 articles, including 3 featured articles. I'm waiting for the IP to provide something other than his own opinion on this. Per WP:BRD I reverted his edit and initiated discussion. Since then, the IP has just continually reverted my edit with no substantiation of the "rule" he claims exists. I will leave it a couple of weeks to see if any other consensus can be formed, but then I will restore the version that was considered a good article which is inline with other featured articles of a similar nature.
