Talk:Prattville, Alabama

message: I went ahead and linked to the homepages for Our Prattville and The Prattville Progress. Other articles about cities in the same area do so, and at this point I feel we have spent far too much time debating a trivial point. That being said, if there are any more ham-fisted attempts to spam links to their articles or attempts to create an article on the magazine, I'll remove them. I hope we can focus on something else now. AniMatedraw 01:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully concur with AniMate on these points. No more discussion please. Manning (talk) 01:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: I've converted the external links to references, which still provide a link but are more in line with the Manual of Style (and which also avoid inline external links). --Ckatzchatspy 02:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Fair enough, per WP:MOS. Manning (talk) 02:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: You have NOT been treated badly. The links still exist, they have simply been reformatted in line with our Manual of Style. Enough. Drop it. Manning (talk) 02:32, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why hasn't that little sockfarm been blocked yet, or at least given a prattfall. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 02:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Bugs - I am obviously aware of the potential sockpuppetry (or meatpuppetry) at play here. If the discussion doesn't die away very soon, action will certainly be ensuing. We've reached a satisfactory content outcome that provides the external links and accords with our MOS, so the matter *should* be closed. Manning (talk) 02:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I know. I'm just waiting to see if they ever get it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 02:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: You HAVE a link in the references section. If there are external inline links in other city articles then we will go and remove those links, not the other way around. This is in accordance with our manual of style. Manning (talk) 02:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A link to their website is more than sufficient. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 02:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Mtp1960 has been blocked (7 days) for disruptive behavior. Manning (talk) 02:49, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've mirrored that block on IP 98.89.12.105 as the registered account and the IP are clearly one and the same. --Ckatzchatspy 02:57, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call on both blocks and the format change. AniMatedraw 02:59, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

text: I have now blocked User:76.73.141.205 for the same reasons as the above. Manning (talk) 05:44, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

text: There's no point in posting a red-link. If she's truly notable, she might qualify for her own article, and then maybe could be posted here. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:26, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
