User talk:ال سباع

October 2024

I noticed that you have posted comments to the page Talk:Arabs in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English for all comments. Posting all comments in English makes it easier for other editors to join the conversation and help you. If you cannot avoid using another language, then please provide a translation into English, if you can. If you cannot provide a translation, please go to the list of Wikipedias, look in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and edit there instead of here. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 15:32, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood thank you ال سباع (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've reverted two of your other edits for the same style reason and I see you also did it elsewhere, so I'll just let you know here directly: we don't normally link dates, numbers, or other basic terms that the average English reader already understands. There's a manual of style for links (Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking), and a section that explains this (shortcut: MOS:OVERLINK). In short: we usually link proper nouns, technical terms, or directly related topics that readers could reasonably want to learn more about as they read the article. If you have other questions about policies and style conventions like this, feel free to ask (or look at other topics in Wikipedia:Manual of Style).

Also a belated apology for my rapid revert at Chaouia (Morocco). There has been so much disruption there specifically about Berber/Arab ethnicity that your edit looked like just another one of these disruptions. Your subsequent comment to explain yourself is precisely the appropriate thing to do when reverted. R Prazeres (talk) 21:15, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice and guidance Professor. I am grateful to be an active member of this scientific platform. ال سباع (talk) 23:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you're still overlinking in your latest edits. Have a closer look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking again and make sure you check the existing links in the article so that you're not adding duplicate links, and make sure you check what you're linking to. You may want to refrain from adding links to existing text until you're more comfortable with those policies. Other editors are usually capable of handling this.
