Removal of year-only date links

Hi there, I notice you've removed year-only date links on a number of pages, ostensibly due to WP:DATE. However, it's worth noting that WP:DATE#Partial dates clearly states, 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. Therefore, as there is no consensus on this matter (the talk page makes that quite clear) I'd suggest you might like to err on the side of caution in delinking quite so many dates on pages where there has been no disagreement over the issue in the past, given the absence of consensus over the Manual of Style. Thanks, DWaterson 19:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it takes a while to get used to Wikipedia's style guidelines :-) DWaterson 20:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs

Hi, thank you for marking the article you created (Danger at Ocean Deep) as a stub. It is common to place the stub template at the bottom of the page (WP:WSS). Also it is best to avoid {{stub}} and use a specific stub if one is availble. The easiest wasy to do this is to use the list of stub types. Thank you.

Also in case you are creating a few Thunderbirds articles the stub for childrens television programs is {{child-tv-prog-stub}}. Also to marka section as a stb you can use {{sectstub}}. Ksbrown^talk 13:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
