Bor link leads to a page that is not related to the company. Needs to be fixed.

List of countries and links

I changed the sentence:

• production is exported to ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and other countries in ] and ]

to:

• production is exported to ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and other countries in ] and ]

Is there a particular reason why it was reverted? Bobblewik 22:48, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Sorry, I did not notice the UK bit. I only noticed that a few links to the years were unwikified. I have nothing againts the UK corrections, of course, but I am a bit curious what the reason for removing links to the years was.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 17:31, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

People link full dates so that date format preferences work, it is not really a link at all. This produces a common recommendation to link dates. However it does not work with for a year on its own but many people see date links and mistakenly assume at all dates must be linked. This is covered in the manual of style. If you like having year links in this article, that is fine by me.

My main concern was the correction of the country term. If you do object to the correction, I would be grateful if you could undo the revert of it. Keep up the good work. Regards. Bobblewik 19:14, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

No, of course I have no objections. Sorry I could not undo it myself—I am currently away and am able to access WP only sporadically. As for the years, the links are useful to those who are interested in finding out what else happened on the same date/year (or just year), but I understand some people prefer not to see individual years linked. I guess it's the matter of personal preferences.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 15:05, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
