You are correct.
While previously I had directly linked to the section that spoke of the authorship of the work that the article was speaking about. This link was changed by another editor.
When I linked to go past the redirect I failed to have it go directly to the section. Therefore, it is not covered by the standard I was thinking of which is Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Piped_links_and_redirects_to_sections_of_articles .
Upon review, as the section on authorship of the linked article is at the top. I concede that there is no need for the section to be directly linked to. -- Wowaconia ( talk) 19:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Okay, Caeciliusinhorto, if that’s your real name, so the reference to Plato has nothing to do with the development of the story of Sappho-as-what-ever-you-said, but the section is, after all, titled “ancient reputation”, and Plato is “celebrity casting”, and he’s willing to add some star power to your paragraph and he won’t charge you a penny. I’m not saying that Dioscorides, and Antipater of Sidon are anything to sneeze at, but … you get my point. So okay, I confess! I was the one that stuck the Plato non sequitur in there, thinking you could figure out what to do with it. You coulda just hit the paragraph button and given him a paragraph all to his own. Voila! Problem solved! Actually … don’t. Ignore all of the above, and do what you want. You’re doing a great job with the article, and I enjoy following your edits, I hope you don’t mind. And I’ll keep my two cents to myself from now on. So there. Yours truly, Handthrown ( talk) 20:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
It means a lot that Plato mentioned her, though would it've killed him to give us little more than he did?the eternal curse of the classicist! we never know as much as we would like.
three epigrams attributed to her are preserved, but these are in fact Hellenistic imitationsI bet that's my wording; I have a bad habit of writing excessively compressed sentences. I'm sure it could be improved. Something like "though three epigrams attributed to Sappho are preserved, they are later Hellenistic imitations of her style rather than authentic poems by her", perhaps?

I agree with your criticism of my Corinna change -- I intended to keep rewriting it to make it more coherent but stopped at an intermediate stage. I sometimes get all bollixed up with using the editor if I have to make a lot of changes at once so I do it in stages. Apparently there is no way to save drafts of edits until you get it all right.

I’ve enjoyed reading the Brother’s Poem article. It is well written sentence-by-sentence, and it contains a wealth of ideas and information. I do have a few comments, for whatever they may be worth. I feel that the organization and arrangement of the content needs be considered, perhaps it might help to have more headings and subheadings, and to keep the content under each heading “on topic”. The article begins with a rich load of detail coming like shotgun blasts from a few directions: the date of publication, the name of the discoverer, a mention of Oxford, and so on. I think the reader might want to say: Wait, hold on, slow down. The “lead” should be more like a headline — a couple of sentences, with few details — only those that serve the lead’s purpose. The details of the first two paragraphs could be absorbed into what follows the lead. The reader should be seen as someone who doesn’t know much about all this at all, doesn’t know Sappho, and thinks that “archaic” is a put-down (and could use a little definition). I’d suggest a lead could be something like: “The Brother’s Poem is a poem written by Sappho, a poet of ancient Greece, known for her vivid and evocative writings on human nature, on love, and sexuality; and whose work preceded and greatly inspired authors of the classical period. That the Brother’s Poem is extant after more than 27 centuries, and was only very recently found, makes it a remarkable and rare instance of survival and discovery, especially in light of the fact that most of Sappho’s poetry has been lost to modern readers. The Brother’s Poem is concerned with the safe return of Sappho’s brother from an ocean voyage.” Then the article begins. Also, I think the reader wants the “goods” — the poem itself — and misses them when they are not there. The poem doesn’t need to be fully quoted from a modern translation, but it’s short enough to be paraphrased. Or it could be made up with short quotes combined with paraphrases, and in a section of it’s own. It could start: This poem begins with Sappho speaking to another, and saying that the other “keeps telling everyone” that Kharaxos’ boat always arrives fully-loaded. (etc) Regarding the “story of the discovery”, which a reader would be eager to pounce on, is scattered in bits and pieces. And it’s not obvious where to find it. I think the reader would love to have it told in a unified way in its own section that might subsume the section that’s there now headed "preservation". It might be good to include the original Greek version in the article, even for non-Greek readers, to get a sense of it. Best, Gaustaag ( talk) 16:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
On 19 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sappho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in ( here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}
- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}
- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create " WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

You are correct.
While previously I had directly linked to the section that spoke of the authorship of the work that the article was speaking about. This link was changed by another editor.
When I linked to go past the redirect I failed to have it go directly to the section. Therefore, it is not covered by the standard I was thinking of which is Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Piped_links_and_redirects_to_sections_of_articles .
Upon review, as the section on authorship of the linked article is at the top. I concede that there is no need for the section to be directly linked to. -- Wowaconia ( talk) 19:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
In light of the above, I have reversed my link edit on the article about the 411 coup. -- Wowaconia ( talk) 19:37, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I hope everything is well. Several months ago, you provided some helpful suggestions to improve the article Astronomica that I was working on. Well, since then, I've put in a lot of work into it and am currently nominating it at FAC. I was wondering if you would be willing to look over the article as it is and maybe leave some comments on the FA nomination page? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!-- Gen.

Okay, Caeciliusinhorto, if that’s your real name, so the reference to Plato has nothing to do with the development of the story of Sappho-as-what-ever-you-said, but the section is, after all, titled “ancient reputation”, and Plato is “celebrity casting”, and he’s willing to add some star power to your paragraph and he won’t charge you a penny. I’m not saying that Dioscorides, and Antipater of Sidon are anything to sneeze at, but … you get my point. So okay, I confess! I was the one that stuck the Plato non sequitur in there, thinking you could figure out what to do with it. You coulda just hit the paragraph button and given him a paragraph all to his own. Voila! Problem solved! Actually … don’t. Ignore all of the above, and do what you want. You’re doing a great job with the article, and I enjoy following your edits, I hope you don’t mind. And I’ll keep my two cents to myself from now on. So there. Yours truly, Handthrown ( talk) 20:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
It means a lot that Plato mentioned her, though would it've killed him to give us little more than he did?the eternal curse of the classicist! we never know as much as we would like.
three epigrams attributed to her are preserved, but these are in fact Hellenistic imitationsI bet that's my wording; I have a bad habit of writing excessively compressed sentences. I'm sure it could be improved. Something like "though three epigrams attributed to Sappho are preserved, they are later Hellenistic imitations of her style rather than authentic poems by her", perhaps?

I agree with your criticism of my Corinna change -- I intended to keep rewriting it to make it more coherent but stopped at an intermediate stage. I sometimes get all bollixed up with using the editor if I have to make a lot of changes at once so I do it in stages. Apparently there is no way to save drafts of edits until you get it all right.

Hello Caeciliusinhorto, I just wanted to give you a "heads up" that I suggested an edit on the talk page of the Sappho article. My suggestion may be factually accurate, but if you could check it (if you feel like it and have a moment) I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Gaustaag ( talk) 20:10, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
I’ve enjoyed reading the Brother’s Poem article. It is well written sentence-by-sentence, and it contains a wealth of ideas and information. I do have a few comments, for whatever they may be worth. I feel that the organization and arrangement of the content needs be considered, perhaps it might help to have more headings and subheadings, and to keep the content under each heading “on topic”. The article begins with a rich load of detail coming like shotgun blasts from a few directions: the date of publication, the name of the discoverer, a mention of Oxford, and so on. I think the reader might want to say: Wait, hold on, slow down. The “lead” should be more like a headline — a couple of sentences, with few details — only those that serve the lead’s purpose. The details of the first two paragraphs could be absorbed into what follows the lead. The reader should be seen as someone who doesn’t know much about all this at all, doesn’t know Sappho, and thinks that “archaic” is a put-down (and could use a little definition). I’d suggest a lead could be something like: “The Brother’s Poem is a poem written by Sappho, a poet of ancient Greece, known for her vivid and evocative writings on human nature, on love, and sexuality; and whose work preceded and greatly inspired authors of the classical period. That the Brother’s Poem is extant after more than 27 centuries, and was only very recently found, makes it a remarkable and rare instance of survival and discovery, especially in light of the fact that most of Sappho’s poetry has been lost to modern readers. The Brother’s Poem is concerned with the safe return of Sappho’s brother from an ocean voyage.” Then the article begins. Also, I think the reader wants the “goods” — the poem itself — and misses them when they are not there. The poem doesn’t need to be fully quoted from a modern translation, but it’s short enough to be paraphrased. Or it could be made up with short quotes combined with paraphrases, and in a section of it’s own. It could start: This poem begins with Sappho speaking to another, and saying that the other “keeps telling everyone” that Kharaxos’ boat always arrives fully-loaded. (etc) Regarding the “story of the discovery”, which a reader would be eager to pounce on, is scattered in bits and pieces. And it’s not obvious where to find it. I think the reader would love to have it told in a unified way in its own section that might subsume the section that’s there now headed "preservation". It might be good to include the original Greek version in the article, even for non-Greek readers, to get a sense of it. Best, Gaustaag ( talk) 16:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
On 19 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sappho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:15, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in ( here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}
- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}
- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create " WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) ( talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
