Refs for 'Reverting addition of external link to see also section, which is for internal links'[edit]
Hello I would like the reference for the rule that states 'also see is for internal links only'. kindly please provide it. OR.. if you cannot, you could have at least had the courtesy to go to the talk page or even my page before making the edit. I look forward to your ref.

- Hello, Dava4444. The guideline is set out at MOS:SEEALSO, which states that the "section is a useful way to organize internal links to related or comparable articles and build the web". Cordless Larry (talk) 17:31, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
AlanCity20 & Portugaltheo20[edit]
Hi CordlessLarry, thanks for this edit, adding Portugaltheo20 (talk · contribs) to the AlanCity20 SPI. May I ask how you managed to connect the two? I'm mystified. Mathglot (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, I think I figured it out by accident. I wasn't looking for it, I was just continuing to undo the damage by P-20, and ran into an article edited by 89.89.77.159 (talk · contribs) at one of the articles P-20 had edited, checked IP 89's contributions, and then it clicked. Otoh, IP 89 is not listed as one of the socks, should they be? Is that why they're only blocked for 3 mos. and not indef, because their BE is for something else, not socking? Mathglot (talk) 01:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- As I've commented in the SPI, Davidldn20 says they are 89. --Wotheina (talk) 03:18, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Just opened an SPI for IP 89. Portugaltheo20 & IP 89 have identical edits at one article that cannot be the result of chance. See the SPI. If Davidldn20 says truthfully that they are IP 89, then Davidldn20 is another AC20 sock. Mathglot (talk) 03:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Wotheina:, unless I misunderstand, I think you've confused two IPs. I think D-20 revealed a connection with 78.123.82.169 (talk · contribs) in this edit at African immigration to Europe, not with IP 89. Do you concur? Mathglot (talk) 04:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- As I've commented in the SPI, Davidldn20 says they are 89. --Wotheina (talk) 03:18, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- I saw this revert you made, Mathglot, and the combination of your edit summary and the article alerted me to the possibility it was an AlanCity20 sock you were reverting. AlanCity20 tends to make unsourced changes to economics and demography articles. When I looked at Special:Contributions/Portugaltheo20, there are some common AlanCity20 sock editing targets there (e.g. Migration from Latin America to Europe and Evolution of the French Empire). There's also a pattern to the usernames. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:30, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
