Hello, I'm Smallangryplanet. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Calabar Carnival, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Smallangryplanet (talk) 11:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello SmallangryPlanet, thank you for pointing out my mistake, I like the tune you used and I promise to do the needful to my edit. Busybee1812 (talk) 02:25, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Linking

I noticed that you have recently added quite a number of links. Unfortunately a number of them are not according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Some tips:

• In general a term should be linked only once, or maybe once in the lead and once in the main text.
• A link should be on the first occurrence of the term
• Words in the title of a section are usually not linked.
• Pipes in links are not needed if the term after the pipe already provides the correct link, so e.g. [[Ethnic group|ethnic groups]] and [[Naturalization|naturalisation]] can simply be linked as [[ethnic groups]] and [[naturalisation]].
• [Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking] gives a lot of information about linking, and you mighy especially want to read the section "What generally should not be linked" in order to avoid overlinking.

I hope this helps.Keesal (talk) 16:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the constructive manner in which you have pointed out my mistakes to me, I will take note and improve on the way I edit henceforth. Busybee1812 (talk) 10:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, can I just add to this: please don't link things that are just normal words used in their normal way. When an article is about some technical subject, it makes sense to link technical words used in the article, so that the reader can easily find other articles about the same subject. It is not necessary to link things like the word "Chronological" when an article says "the table below shows XXX in chronological order" (as you did) because this is just the normal English meaning of the normal English word "Chronological". Over-linking makes the article harder to follow. I don't think I am expressing myself very clearly, but I hope this makes some sense? Elemimele (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for the pointer I will do right thing henceforth. Thank you. Busybee1812 (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

But you aren't. You are still being reverted for overlinking. I suggest you find something else to do. Doug Weller talk 07:51, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

And so it continues, Doug Weller. Busybee, this is your absolute last warning about this. PICKLEDICAE🥒 15:19, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
