message: I can't understand why you keep removing information from Richard Neustadt so it is now protected. Please discuss it on the talk page. You can not continue reverting pages and refusing to discuss your reasons or even giving an edit summary explaining what you are doing. Angela 04:53, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
:I only removed Lir's nonsensical wikification of words like died (and thereafter reverted to my version after he reverted; he should know better than to add information during an edit war; he will ultimately have to re-add this information on the basis of my version). Sorry if that is not obvious to you. I note that you're taking sides here, accusing me of reverting when I just made a normal edit and the first to revert was Lir. --Wik 05:05, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
::You didn't just delink death; which is arguably quite valid (this is a wiki, wik...); you removed valid information, whole sentences describing aspects of the man's life, removed valid and notable dates; and, for some reason or other, decided that each president's full name should be written out. Lirath Q. Pynnor
::Good you're discussing it. I've unprotected it now. Angela 07:40, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
:::And as soon as you did, Wik reverted again.  RickK 08:32, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: Hmm, I didn't realize this little revert-war was going on when I expanded the article a bit.  On a more serious topic, does anyone know whether Neustadt was born on June 26 in New York City, as the AP reports or on June 27 in Philadelphia as the JFK library puts it? --Minesweeper 13:04, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Born in NYC or Philadelphia?

message: Lir, I know Wikilinks are a Good Thing, but don't you think it has gotten a bit out of hand in this short article? There is more linked text than plain text.
As far as dates go, according to Wikipedia:Make only links relevant to the context, only birth and death are essential; otherwise only "epoch-making" dates should be linked. Also, some simple English nouns like professor and government and the book titles don't need to be linked. What do you think? Can we "quiet" this page down a bit visually speaking? -- Viajero 09:53, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: You didn't answer my question. And you missed a few: the, decade, degree, a, it, home, marry, die, I mean, if you are going to overdo it, you might as well do the job properly. ;-) -- Viajero 15:57, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: He did wikify home, marry, and die. I reverted those. You blamed me for it, remember? --Wik 21:51, Nov 3, 2003 (UTC)
No, I don't think things are out of hand. The fact that Im not linking "it" or "a" or "the" is a good sign that things are not out of hand. I don't think I am overdoing it. Lirath Q. Pynnor

Once this page is unprotected, it might be good to add that his wife was the Baroness Williams of Crosby, PC, and that he was her second husband. -- Someone else 02:37, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

text: Oops, I didn't realize there had been edit wars over link density before I removed some. Well I definitely side with those who thought it was overlinked: it looked terrible, and clashed with wikipedia guidelines which suggest average of not more than a link per line.

replies: text: Heh, although I'm usually indifferent to year links myself, there are lots of little elves who will add them all back, so kind of a lost cause to target them... Stan 18:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
