Wikilinks

If you want to make a link to Wikipedia, you can use this format: [[w:Wikipedia page|link text]] But some care should be taken when making links. Linking to the article of a single person when every other person in the text isn't similarly treated draws a lot of attention to that one person. That may not make sense if they are not a singularly important topic of the Wikisource page. Links should be used to improve the Wikisource page by offering relevant additional information, not to draw traffic to the Wikipedia article. Prosody (talk) 01:41, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Prosody (talk): I appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure why Wikipedians often take actions first and then notify people (which can waste time); in future, please simply talk to me first. Also, while I appreciate your thoughts, I don't necessarily agree, for a number of reasons. So, I'm going to use your Wikipedia crosslink (thank you) and put that into each article, as apparently you not only deleted all the Wikisource-links to a new Lee Pressman entry but also got rid of the new entry on Pressman, too. As for the issue of "draws a lot of attention," well, if each of us tend our gardens (a la Voltaire in Candide), then people will continue to add to each of the cases that I cross-reference to Pressman, and thus each article will grow... i.e, specifically in this case, please let the Wikipedia cross-references stand. --Aboudaqn (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
