[edit] St. Catharines, Ontario
Hey,
I noticed you linked up the years in the history section. I used to do that too, but more recently I've been removing such links. Could you please take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Avoid overlinking dates and reconsider your edit? If you'd like to discuss this, feel free to drop me a line. Thanks. --Qviri (talk) 23:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, you've got me convinced. I just linked 1780s to the article we have on the decade instead of the year 1780. (To be honest, the decade article gives the context in a more accessible format than the year page -- but linking [[1820s|1821]] would probably mostly confuse people...) --Qviri (talk) 02:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 616
Please cite a manuscript (or several, if there are relevant substantial differences) which has 616 instead of 666 in Number of the Beast. Wikipedia articles must be verifiable and citations are the means to achieve that. —xyzzyn 22:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't have the time or patience. It's a well known fact that doesn't need to be cited. [1] Jeffr 12:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
