Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Charles Churchill (British Army officer, born 1656), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jacobite. 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.)

Hi. Although I acknowledge the good-faith edits, can you tell me why you deleted all {{

templates (via
MOS:APOSTROPHE), –
, —
and {{
spaced ndash}}
in
Dolores O'Riordan's article? In addition, we reproduce the quotations as they appear in the source, per
MOS:PMC, including the en dash.

—I’m assuming you mean the ones on the

? I deleted them because are not needed since the italicising apostrophes can go within the brackets (rather than on the sides where it can get muddled with the possessive apostrophe), thereby obviating the need for the apostrophe template. Not sure why the curiosity about this because I thought how I did it was fairly obvious. Also, having –

codes aren’t necessary if the actual characters they represent (– and —, respectively) are present. Again, this is obvious.

Please do not alter direct links to be links to redirects, as you did on Starship Troopers. For multiple links you removed the correct WP:pipelink and replaced it solely with a link that causes a redirect back to the original link. For instance you altered the link of fascist to just link to Fascist which is a redirect back to Fascism. These are not link corrections. I note you've been doing the exact same thing on multiple articles, altering direct pipelinks to be links instead to redirects, such as on Birdboy: The Forgotten Children and others. Additionally, please do not alter the variety of English that an article has been written in, per WP:ENGVAR and also be aware of WP:OVERLINK where we do not link to common English terms such as star, sun, grass etc. Canterbury Tail talk 12:56, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
Do not change things like Pope [[Pope Gregory VII|Gregory VII]]
to [[Pope Gregory VII]]
, because it changes the appearance of the page. Why should "Pope" be in blue when "King" and "Count" and "Bishop" and many other titles on the same page are not when they are used in the same way, i.e. King [[Henry III of England|Henry III]]
?

which is clearly against the guideline that "there is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles".
