Somebody has been cutting and pasting the same long list of "See alsos" into a bunch of different articles.  I think there is a downside to a long list of weakly connected articles into a "see also" list.  First, if an article is already a link in the text of the article, there is no need to also put the link in the "see also" list.  Second, there is no relationship between the National Debt of the US and the United Nations or Obama donor list.  How can we work out what a good "see also" list should be?  Is the test, "a reader would feel cheated if he read the 'see also' article and does not see a clear relationship to the National Debt of the US"?  Many thanks [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 01:32, 6 March 2016 (EST)

:Could you please indicate which items on the "see also" list you view as relevant and which you do not.  So far, all you said was that some items on the list were relevant.  I then put the list in the correct bullet list format, and you reverted instead of deleting items that you believe are not relevant.  So, I deleted what I thought were the worst items, and you deleted it without any comment.  What do you think. Thank you. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 13:45, 9 March 2016 (EST)
