First I want to mention that I deeply appreciate your candid frank and friendly response It is refreshing to meet another Wikipedian who doesn t see any need to bite someone s head off just because of a mistake whatever the size Not that most Wikipedians do that but cordiality is still nice Yes I agree that I should resist the urge to correct other people s comments For me the ill will is a much bigger factor especially because I always try to be very careful to never change the meaning of a comment but it is still a risk as you say You re right the edits are old and the link eventually gets you there These are trivial changes but I find value in them It is true that the servers don t spend much time on redirects but I still would like all links going directly to the article they refer to Not that that will ever happen to all of WP or even EN WP but I can help Actually I started fixing the redirecting links to that particular page because I wanted to make sure there were no double redirects which would be a problem and one worth fixing Being a perfectionist I decided to go ahead and fix all the redirecting links instead of just the double redirects I want a nice clean Whatlinkshere page with no indentions A large percentage of the redirects I am fixing are on main namespace pages not on talk pages and in those cases I also fix the visible spelling of the link when it is wrong since that should be right So I am doing what you were saying about fixing the article pages On talk pages and even in archives I have been fixing the appearance as well as the link target but I think I ll change my policy based on your well made point I m only going to change the link target nothing about the appearance Does that seem reasonable I am interested in AWB but I haven t really looked into it much Thanks for the tip My login problem is a toughie as far as I can tell What happens is this I click the register login link at the top right of the page I enter my username and password It says I have successfully logged in and even shows my username etc in the upper right But then as soon as I switch to another page I am logged out again I have checked my cookies and I am accepting cookies from all Wikimedia projects that I m working on It is possible it is a firewall problem but I have no idea how to fix that And it isn t just at the school where I work I can t login on computers in cybercafes in the area either Maybe they all have the same type of firewall or something but I never had this problem until around December 2006 which was about the time our school changed its ISP I don t know if that is related but if that is the case it seems strange that I can t even login when I m off campus A bit of a puzzler isn t it BTW if you don t mind me saying so I noticed that your contribs link in your signature doesn t go to your contributions page The link should read Special Contributions Flex not Special Contributions Flex Better to catch it now than later talk
