Wiki date links
Hi Colonies Chris, why did you remove the date links at Robert d'Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk? Daytrivia (talk) 00:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- I see that you have addressed the reasoning in the previous section. Sorry I didn't check. Daytrivia (talk) 00:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Wiki date links again
Chris, what is the rationale behind all these changes both in wiki dates and in reverting wiki links such as World War II? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:57, 31 July 2008 (UTC).
- So Chris, as I understand it, the change is entirely optional and others will still utilize the autoformatting system? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC).
- Chris, I am not sure you understand the term: optional. The latest reading of the Wikiautodating forum has indicated that editors engaged in such a campaign of wholesale changes should "cease" the practice. Please do so. Bzuk (talk) 19:02, 2 August 2008 (UTC).
- See the following discussion: and note: "Just to be clear, see the top of WP:MOSNUM. You'll note what it says about it being a guideline (as opposed to a policy). The means it's advisory, and so is optional." Again, not my interpretation but the assessment of others. FWiW, on "new" articles that I am editing, see Empire of the Sun (film) and Swing Vote (2008 film), I have completely discarded autowikilinked dates, but I do not feel it is productive to go around changing countless other articles. Bzuk (talk) 19:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC).
- Henry Allingham and Harry Patch have just been rid of all DATE AND COUNTRY LINKS: is this vandalism (not nice)? Extremely sexy (talk) 15:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

You have now removed the links from the date entries for the article minor campaigns of 1815 twice (first,second edits). Please see Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date autoformatting. Please do not remove the links on the dates in the article again. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 00:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Like wise dates on the article Battle of La Suffel. If you continue to remove links from dates it can be seen as disruptive behaviour, particularly as there is a prohibition on changing date formats in Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Retaining the existing format. Disruptive behaviour will get your account blocked (see Misplaced Pages:Blocking policy).--Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
RE: Floor Jansen
It's okay. It was just one minor thing that was like that. Otherwise, thanks for your additions to the article. BT 21:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
