You wrote on my User Page, the following:
''Red links advice to User:TheAmericanRedoubt''
''Dear AlanE: Please look at Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Quality_over_speed where we have counseled User:TheAmericanRedoubt to take time to create new articles of sufficient length and scope. His reply is that you have been after him to make his red links blue and that therefore he is creating a large number of 1 sentence articles (with attendant See Also, Bibliography and External Links sections). Could you please clarify your guidance? It seems to me that if an editor does not believe it is worthwhile to write an article about CETME, then one could refrain from making an internal link to it. Many thanks!'' Wschact 05:47, 7 January 2015 (EST)
On December 10 when TAR was only just getting into gear in his orgy of linking everything to everything I evoked Lewis Carroll in an effort to get him to "tidy up as he went."
I wrote: ''The proliferation of red wikilinks in your edits reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter:
:The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand,
:They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand.
:"If seven maids with seven brooms swept for half a year,
:Do you suppose," the walrus said, "that they could get it clear?"
:"I doubt it " said the carpenter, and wept a bitter tear.
:''I have tended to sweep up after me the links I have generated in my 200odd thousand words of edits here. Who has the job of sweeping up the multiple links you are throwing around with gay (ahem) abandon? I think you should start sweeping, boyo, because, from bitter experience, I know no one else is going to do it.'' AlanE 22:29, 10 December 2014 (EST)
That was nearly a month ago. My point was to get him to (a) lay off the links (stop generating so much sand) and (b) activate those links he does feel are necessary (sweep away what is already there).
I had no idea then of the sheer amount of red that would inundate the place. Perhaps I should have been a little less literary. I mentioned the maids with their brooms again on Dec 27 as part of something else. Cons put it so much clearer than I in that same Dec 27 conversation.
