Why are dates (as in birthdays) always made clickable? Do people really want to know who else was born or what happened on that day that much? Is it possible to make something clickable without making it look like it is clickable (reserved exclusively for things like dates)? A sentence where the majority of the words are clickable is hard to read in my opinion.
Though the other cleanups performed are good, thx.
I think the date linking thing might be for the convenience of the people who maintain things like the daily anniversaries and the pages on years. Misplaced Pages has a "what links to this article" function, so if you want to find things that happened in a given year, you can click on the "what links here" at that year. I agree that excessive linking is often distracting, btw. Isomorphic 07:18, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
