Thanks Paulo, I will try to do that, far from you being a nuisance it appears that my excessive use of saving and re-editing is the nuisance!

surely there must be material on Ignatief, Hitchemns, Garton Ash, Gourevitch and the like around which could be used for pages on each of the New Humanitarians?

also, do you think you could start a number of categories for these kinds of pages?  eg a New Humanitarians category and a Nation branding category.  In fact there is no reason why this material should not all go on the category page itself and then the table with the names will be automatically updated by the software?

Hi Paul

What do you think?

Can I just check I've got what you are saying? Do you mean that one internal link is enough; so if a name or organisation appears more than once then one instance of it in the 2 square brackets is enough? Also have you found some external links that lead to dead ends? I have tried to check these out to make sure that the links all work although I have not checked them all.  Is this what you mean?

I see what you mean.  That page does look really neat.  I have been responsible for some over wikification.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Paul,

just responding to some of your note to claire.

Three things:

  1. I think that your view on the need for only one link in a page to a particular person is a good idea on short pages. But I think that a case can be made for more than one on longer pages.
  2. I tend to think the opposite on links to empty pages. The red links show what needs doing, are automatically turned blue when a page appears (saving any retrospective changes) and it is a useful way of assessing what pages are most needed via the 'wanted pages' page
  3. I think that we should all try and use the # for as this is the best system available to us at the moment and that the numbered list aids referencing. If the issue ios that the numbers do not match, then the objective should be make them match. this implies both using 'Ibid.' or repeating refs or eliminating numbered refs in the text - eg changing [url] to [url title] or relocating the ref to the bottom.

What do you think?
