German inline links, etc.

[edit]

While I appreciate the effort the IP has put in, and have incorporated the wikilinks they added, en.wikipedia discourages inline external links, and requires the references to appear before the external links at the end. Plus I see no reason for most of the reordering of the categories. So although I was mistaken in thinking those templates replaced the redlinks, I don't believe the article is improved by going against the guideline against inline external links to pepper it with links to de.wikipedia articles, and the other changes that I reverted are either rule-breaking (moving the refs section to where it appears on de.wikipedia) or unnecessary (reordering the categories). These are why I will now be returning it to the version taking the useful bits of the IP's work and reverting those other changes. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:29, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The IP has now re-reverted saying something about expansion. Their addition of templates that make links to the German article appear after every redlink do not assist expansion of the encyclopedia, they just frustrate the English-speaking reader and clutter up the article with inline links (and possibly make it load slowly?) The remaining changes have nothing to do with expansion. This edit is well intentioned but unhelpful. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:39, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
