I make the simple statement that I do not like to see green words indicating that Wikilink has a redirect. For example, I changed[[Great Khan]] to[[Khanate|Great Khan]] in this article. I changed some other Wikilinks. This is a small change, but we want GA and FA articles to be our best, and to look that way to the average reader. Question: Should "Kublai accused Bolghai, an important Mongol official who served under Möngke, of treachery for conspiring with Ariq Böke." be allowed to stand with Bolghai as a redlink?

• • Wikipedia allows redlinks. They invite editors to create new articles.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 04:28, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
    • I agree with you about redlinks inviting editors to create new articles. Can you create an article about Bolghai, thus making this article better, or should it be changed to Bolghai without brackets, therefore appearing in black type.--DThomsen8 (talk) 12:46, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
      • Redlinks are allowed under the Manual of Style and the Good article criteria. Is the status of the Bolghai article, or any other redlink, important for the GA assessment of this article?--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 06:20, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
        • This review appears to have stalled. Is that right, @Dthomsen8:? Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:38, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

That is right. I may create an article about Bolghai, but other than that, I am not doing anything more on the review. I have never done a GA review. Can we recruit another editor to do the review?--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:47, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. Please don't take on a GA review unless you are familiar with the criteria and are committed to completing it. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 14:59, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
