Please stop[edit]

Adding extreme specificity about states is completely unnecessary ... that's a characteristic of American English, not Australian. Linking to states and major cities like that is also overlinking. Going in and changing major articles to conform to your idea (and yours alone) of what is right shows unfathomable arrogance. If you continue editing like this, you may be blocked.

So does adding unsourced incendiary text about major events. Graham87 (talk) 03:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You sound unhinged. Jason1961 (talk) 04:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your own bio:

I'm Graham Pearce from Perth, Western Australia, … Jason1961 (talk) 04:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't make personal attacks - "unhinged". Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, including a Manual of Style, often for readability reasons. Please follow them. The relevant section in this case is MOS:GEOLINK. I have also reverted some of your edits regarding this.

User pages don't have to follow the MOS. (Pinging @Graham87) Fork99 (talk) 04:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lol … Can I call him “unfashionably arrogant”? Jason1961 (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for re-adding the info with a reference. My user page was made before that overlinking was hugely emphasised in the Manual of Style. Graham87 (talk) 05:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems if you are going to get into WP:PA, when you are offered advice that you are contravening in the general style manual regarding adding links, you might need to actually read WP:AGF, and if that doesnt fit for your idea of how things work, there could well be some further things down the road. Best advice, read and take note what other editors are advising, and take care. JarrahTree 07:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
