Watch your wikilinks[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia, and the Wiki Education project, and thanks for your contributions to Propaganda in World War I. I notice you've had some issues lately with some edits at the article being reverted (by myself, and another editor) for improper use of wikilinks. These include:
- this edit, where you improperly linked the term Central Powers, a military alliance, to Gowanus Batcave via a piped link, and also introduced an unnecessary WP:REDLINK;
- this edit, where you improperly linked the term coalition to the red-linked destination Propaganda weapon via a piped link;
- same edit as above, where you replaced a valid piped link of China to Republic of China, by improperly targeting China to Propaganda in China, a violation of Wikipedia:Piped link#Transparency (sometimes known as, "Principle of Least Astonishment, or "POLA");
- this edit, where you pipe-linked contemporary German historian "Eberhard Demm" to 19th century landscape painter landscape painter Eberhard Emminger (where did he come from??);
- the same edit, where you linked "Christopher H. Sterling", co-author of the "Propaganda" article in the "Encyclopedia of World War I", to Christopher H. Sterling, professor of media and public affairs specializing in electronic media and telecommunications. (In this case, there is no clear evidence that these two references identify one individual; the Wikipedia article mentions nothing about the media historian professor writing articles about World War I, or propaganda themes; it's not impossible, but we can't make that assumption by wikilinking them.)
You seem to be well aware of the syntax of links and how to create them, so bravo for that. Please be aware that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style which covers, among other things, when to create wikilinks, when not to, and how to style them. You can find it at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking. Please read it, as well as Wikipedia:Piped link, and please ensure that any wikilinks you add comply with the style manual and improve the article.
If you have questions or need help, you can reply below (how?), talk to me on my talk page, or ask your Wiki Ed content expert User:Ian (Wiki Ed). Hope this helps, and once again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
