MOS:JOBTITLES edit warring by Panda2018 0

Hi Panda2018 0,

Please revert your edit here. While I'm glad you have figured out what MOS:JOBTITLES is saying, you don't get to continue to edit war to avoid having to follow it, especially when you've introduced WP:EASTER problems and removed information just to twist the wording to ensure certain titles can be capitalized.

I'd also remind you of WP:CIVIL: while your last edit summary succinctly describes you and your behaviour, I am pretty sure it was levelled at me, and that's unacceptable. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

More than 1 million Canadians identify as LGBTQ2S+

In 2021, of the 8.6 million couples in Canada, 32,205 included at least one transgender or non-binary person. Same-gender couples, that is, couples in which there were either two women or two men, and both members were cisgender, numbered 95,435.

disruptive editing in violation of MOS:OVERLINK and WP:EASTER

Noting the edit-warring/disruptive behaviour by Panda2018 0 as they continue linking country names and common terms in violation of MOS:OVERLINK, plus linking generic terms like "Premier" to the premier articles for specific provinces (which can be fully fixed by simply rewording so the link text clearly indicates which premier a reader will get if they click the link) in violation of WP:EASTER.

Starts with this version after multiple edits by the user here and then continues with reverts here and here. —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:24, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

As a Wikipedia reader randomly stumbling upon this article, I would like to have a link to the very country and topic this article is about. Seems logical to me. There's a link to Europe in the lead but not to Canada or marriage, despite this article being about same-sex marriage in Canada… That makes no sense. There should be at least one link to Canada and marriage in this article (preferably the lead). Panda2018 0 (talk) 00:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

I've reverted your changes, again, as they fail to follow MOS:OVERLINK. Please cease your edit-warring or you'll be reported to WP:ANEW. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:10, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I've removed the Europe link and some other common terms. I was able to fix an Easter Egg but there are others in the article. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:57, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Took two weeks to respond and can’t even explain why Canada shouldn’t be linked in an article about Canada 😭😭😭 Panda2018 0 (talk) 05:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

It was explained by but you choose not to look. More directly, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked -

"* The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of:

• • countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian)"

@User:Joeyconnick, for the sake of consistency, could you please remove all links to Canada in the following articles: Bank of Canada, Provinces and territories of Canada, Canadians, Healthcare in Canada, COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Time in Canada, Temperature in Canada, First Nations in Canada, Firearms regulation in Canada, Indigenous peoples in Canada, Religion in Canada, Sports in Canada, and many more. Thank you. Panda2018 0 (talk) 06:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Anybody can do that and it's not required that that all of them be done at once.

I looked at the five I have edited, Provinces and territories of Canada, Temperature in Canada, First Nations in Canada, Firearms regulation in Canada, and Indigenous peoples in Canada. Provinces and territories of Canada has a link to Canada and that seems to me a sensible exception to the MOS that a link to Canada is useful. Temperature in Canada had a link which I removed along with some incorrect use ob bold. First Nations in Canada didn't have a link to Canada but there was an Easter Egg that I fixed. The other two didn't have links in the body but the templates may have it.

By the way you are at the wrong place for this discussion. If you think that common terms and countries should be linked then start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Linking. Before you do you should read the archives and see the very contentious discussions that were held. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:24, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
