Please note I havent checked each entry

- but you have gone into the pags and reverted the 'see also' - and added unnecessary links.

In the case of The Perth one, City of Perth is all that you need to place there - the following links/qualifiers are not needed... the qualifier which you are adding externally is sufficiently covered in the city of Perth link

Also please do not add my messages from here back to my talk page - it is not needed. Thanks Satu Suro 00:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Steve,

I think what SatuSuro is trying to say is that too much context creates redundancy. For example, I understand why you want to link to both Western Australia and Australia, but "Western Australia, Australia" reads terribly. I've reworked the lead sentence in List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Perth; consider doing the same on the other mayoral lists you've updated.

Also, you may not be aware that there has been strenuous disagreement recently over whether years should be linked. The manual of style says:

"There is consensus among editors that bare month and day names should not be linked unless there is a specific reason that the link will help the reader to understand the article. There is less agreement about links to years. Some editors believe that links to years are generally useful to establish context for the article. Others believe that links to years are rarely useful to the reader and reduce the readability of the text. Another possibility is to link to a more specific article about that year, for example [[2006 in sports|2006]], although some people find this unintuitive because the link leads to an unexpected destination."

but this paragraph fails to capture just how strongly some editors fell about it. The issue seems to have lapsed into an uneasy truce whereby each side promises not to link or delink years en masse. If you don't want someone to bite your head off, it would be advisable not to link years en masse until the dispute is resolved.

Hey Steve

I noticed your name in the history of the De La article, and figured it'd be no other... Would you like to work together on bringing the DLS page to FA status? I hope to have this more-or-less done by the end of January 2008.

Also of note, I have added the paragraph about DLS in this article.

Steve, it seems you deleted the above message from your talk page the day after I left it. You probably missed it when you deleted all the other junk messages you had accumulated. Either way, I await your reply. The Duke of Steve Stefan 12:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Stonington v Stonnington

Hi Steve, noted you moved this page. Can you provide a source for your spelling. I am aware the town in the US is spelt with one "n" but all the sources regarding this house I have seen spell it with two "n". Cheers --Michael Johnson (talk) 21:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
