3 Questions
[edit]I have three questions re this blurb... I'm leaving all for the co-ords involved @Wehwalt, Gog the Mild, and SchroCat: in this blurb to consider/dismiss...
- 1. The link for boar-crested in the article has changed from [[wild boar|boar]]-crested to boar-crested helmet.
- That new target article was created 10 June 2022 and added to the FA the same day
- To change the blurb's current from
- is a [[wild boar|boar]]-crested [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] helmet from the 7th century. to
- is an [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] [[Germanic boar helmet|boar-crested helmet]] from the 7th century. (per the FA lede though bypassing its redirect), is an addition of one character (a --> an) but it does place two blue links next to each other.
- Is this a problem? JennyOz (talk) 09:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- 2. Apparently there was nothing raised at Errors when this ran in 2019 but aren't the links to the other helmets eastereggish? That is, what the reader sees is locations...
- "It was the first Anglo-Saxon helmet to be discovered; others have been found at Sutton Hoo, York, Wollaston, Shorwell, and Staffordshire"
- I'm guessing no-one thinks those links are actually problematic but if space wasn't a concern, it would be more compliant to insert bits eg,
- It was the first Anglo-Saxon helmet to be discovered; others, named for their locations, include the Sutton Hoo, York, Wollaston, Shorwell, and Staffordshire helmets. JennyOz (talk) 09:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- 3. Gog added a message on article talk page 31 Oct asking Usernameunique re image needing free use tag... but Unu, hasn't edited since August.(I happily admit knowing very little much about images - I don't understand how the blurb's image links to this first image rather than the second, the visible extracted version ?)
- but is all okay yet re licensing? JennyOz (talk) 09:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the blue links next to each other, I've yet to see SEAOFBLUE called an actual error. Wehwalt (talk) 09:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a tag that the helmet is no longer under copyright.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the list of location, I added "at" or "in" before each location to make it clear the link is not to the location. Wehwalt (talk) 10:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for all. JennyOz (talk) 10:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
