Hi, and thanks for your contributions. I noticed that you linked some dates recently. This practice is now deprecated. Please see WP:LINKING and WP:MOSNUM. Furthermore, there is an Arbcom restriction on mass linking/delinking of chronological elements, although this is no suggestion from me that you are in breach whatsoever. I'm happy to respond to any inquiries you may have about the matter. Thank you for your attention. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:24, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, many thanks for your hint, I thought this was common practice. The linking of dates without a special importance (e.g. maybe "1968") is indeed not very useful. Lupus648 (talk) 16:06, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was common practice until recently. Anyway, happy editing! Dabomb87 (talk) 16:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
