Overlinking[edit]

When writing a Wikipedia article, it is generally a good idea to only link to any other article once. (See WP:OVERLINK) Also, it is generally accepted practice (per WP:Manual of style) that once you have introduced a person by full name in an article, they should subsequently be referred to by their surname only. So, in the University of Utah School of Computing article, once you have introduced (and linked to) David C. Evans, any subsequent references should be just Evans. Similarly for Robert William Taylor (who should get an internal Wikilink, not an external link). WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:04, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
