Proposal

I propose to add a WL to a serious essay. QuackGuru (talk) 22:36, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

My suggestion is to add the link to the section "Related essays, policies, and guidelines" because the wikilink you're proposing is not the only behavioral characteristic. 22:54, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Since you have concerns about my editing here I will let you decide if you really want it in the essay. You can archive this discussion now. Good luck. QuackGuru (talk) 14:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I made a suggestion because the essay you want to wikilink is unrelated to what you've chosen for the link - your essay focuses on citations, which is not a behaviorial characteristic. Considering your history with the AVDUCK essay, and the multiple "-1 edits" you've made here for no valid reason, as evidenced in the edit history, and the fact that you deleted my questions on your TP does raise a legitimate question - WHY? - but with all that aside, my position about the wikilink to your essay remains the same. Over-citing and under-citing is a sourcing issue, not an advocacy issue. Your wikilink will be better served in an essay about MOS or sources and inline citations. I wish you luck promoting your "serious essay" and hope it helps others become better editors as what AVDUCKS was created to do. 15:09, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
