Overlinking

[edit]

Hi - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Sadagoppan Ramesh and Axar Patel, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we do not normally link:-

  • Everyday words understood by most readers.
  • Names familiar to most readers, including;- major geographic features. major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
  • Common occupations
  • Common units of measurement
  • Dates

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, India is clearly a "major country", so does not need to be linked - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 14:17, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon I see that, despite my explanation, above, you are still linking countries such as at Jos Buttler . Please stop, as editing contrary to policies and guidelines can be considered vandalism, for which you may be blocked. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 18:18, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Please STOP adding links to common words/places, such as India, per WP:OVERLINK. Your edits are becoming disruptive and could lead to your account(s) being blocked. Please reply here to state you understand. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
