  Hello, I'm Thriftycat. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Oradea. Redlinks are useful and can often be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" link (in the tools listed at the left in desktop view) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks!

Speaking of mistakes, how many articles where you've ignored MOS:DATE, must other editors now clean up? 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah! You do have a point! Pardon me, I merely did not take cognizance of that guideline. Pardon me, yet again! I can smell the mistakes (talk) 20:49, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jean-Claude Tardif, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Laval. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
