Disambiguation link notification for August 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Andy Gibb, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Seven Hills. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 20:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking

Please be aware of overlinking as an issue. See MOS:SEAOFBLUE. An article like University of East Anglia does not need any wikilinks to England and the United Kingdom. Does it really need three wikinks to the Sainsbury Centre; I can see why it is useful to have one in the caption for a picture of it, and one the first time it is mentioned in the text, but what is the justification for the third wikilink. And why does it have three wikilinks to Norwich, and three to Norwich Research Park. It now has four wikilinks to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

At one time we had the article scrubbed of excessive wikilinks. Maybe the best thing to do would be to revert to that version.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:58, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I was not aware of that. I'm not trying to be disruptive, but I was only attempting to expand the page and tidy it up, so to speak. Is it anyway possible to make changes to the page without being reverted? Chirpy-slirpy-BURPY (talk) 08:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In their edit summary, User:Moxy wrote You do best to follow WP:BRD.... don't get blocked before you have a chance to state your case. Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle suggests that if you get reverted, you should explain what you are trying to achieve with your edits on the talk page, and listen to what other editors say. I strongly advise doing that.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:27, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you, Todd, I will avoid any potential grammatical errors (due to tiredness) and overlinking. I will do my best to explain myself in each of my edits. Although, I've got other things that I need to do before I resume editing. Have a nice weekend! ;) Chirpy-slirpy-BURPY (talk) 08:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article talk page is the best place to discuss improvements to the article - this is because other users may also want to contribute or just be informed. (i.e. The talk page discussion means that User X will not revert your edit, because he/she now understands why the edit was the right thing to do.)
A user's talk page is the best place to discuss the user's behaviour, for example advising them of mistakes they are making.

I appreciate your advice, Todd, thank you very much! Chirpy-slirpy-BURPY (talk) 08:37, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
