The table under "Release history" has an error I can't figure out. It's pretty visible. Would someone better versed in this take a look? Thanks. Jessicapierce ( talk) 17:27, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified 4 external links on Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Hello,
It seems strange to be linking to Wikipedia:Verifiability in the lead of this article; therefore, I'm going to remove that link. There's also a link to someone's personal website in the list – especially considering no other item in the list has an external link, I'm going to remove that too. Please let me know if you object to either of these changes here. Thanks, DesertPipeline ( talk) 11:58, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Adiirc irc-client is missing from the page, here's the homepage of the client: https://www.adiirc.com/ . Earg ( talk) 22:55, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
User:Pppery Could you please explain why you are massively removing content without prior discussion? Wikipedia is not a top site. If a given client went unmaintained, but was originally meeting the notability criterion, it should be moved to a separate section perhaps. - bkil ( talk) 18:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
originally meeting the notability criterion- notability is not temporary so something that is not notable now never was. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Let's just start with a concrete question. "HydraIRC" is mentioned in the banner as an acceptable inclusion. Why was it deleted then? - bkil ( talk) 19:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
You talked about notability as the rationale behind your removals, while the banner elaborates: "IRC clients added to this list must either have their own article, in which notability is established, or they must be verifiable using independent reliable sources which discuss the client. In addition to an optional primary source (the author), the client must be supported by either two "passable" independent reliable sources which discuss the client in a few paragraphs, or one "excellent" source which discusses it extensively. These inclusion criteria are the result of long, painful discussion; see the Talk archives, above. Only independent verifiability is required for this list, not general notability(required for article topics)." So, could you reconsider now and revert these changes, after reading through the banner and consensus formed on past discussions as per the archived talk pages? - bkil ( talk) 14:29, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
