, 00:27, November 5, 2008→reply to complaint concerning article quality: adding some sage advice
:yeah, "redlinks" are a pain. Some people who write articles love linking every word. ;-) You can always do "what links here", and go and remove the redlinks (the [[ ] ] bars) from around the word like "simple" to remove the redlink/wanted page. I think those requests also come from parodists. It's so crazy here, I can't tell half the time what is real, what is over the top, and what is simply "good honest attempt that failed". I like CP most of the time cause it talks about things I am interested in, but keeps a Christian view point. Sometimes, though... it's just so over the top. Cannot be real, you know? Glad you aren't one (a parodist) though. :)--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 17:19, 4 November 2008 (EST)

:::JeanJacques, for redlinks it's usually best to just create the article rather than remove the links, since links usually mean the article has a demand for existence. "Simple" is one of those rare cases where there may have been several unncessary links, but I'll have to look at the "what links here" to see. Incidentally, we prefer noun forms, so I'll see about moving it to [[simplicity]].
:::As for your comments about CP, understand we're doing our best. The buzz buzz of parodists and vandals can be overwhelming, but all that's needed is to take out the trash and those flies will leave soon enough. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 19:27, 4 November 2008 (EST)
