Talk:Charles Darwin

* A check for use of also might be in order; (see User:Tony1/How to improve your writing on redundancy reducing).  
* There is considerable MOS:OVERLINK, but whether duplicate links are needed is always a judgment call. User:Evad37/duplinks-alt will help identify to evaluate.
I am not sure who else might evaluate this older FA towards marking it "Satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020, but by putting this note there, we might get that ball rolling.  SandyGeorgia (Talk)  02:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
