==Removal of multiple instances of piping to Wikipedia==
==Excessive piping to Wikipedia==


I like piping to Wikipedia as much as the next person, but I have never seen so many unnecessary pipings in one article. The [[Help:A Guide to Piping|piping guide]] says to keep Wikipedia links to a minimum, mostly to help define unfamiliar terms. I know that not everyone is from America and might not be familiar with the culture, but who in the (English-speaking) world hasn't heard of the FBI or Starbucks before? I tried to insert the music and entertainment allusions to the people who wouldn't be familiar with them, but here are the ones I removed: [[Wikipedia:Boudica|Boudicca]], [[Wikipedia:Lilith|Lilith]], [[Wikipedia:New England|New England]], [[Wikipedia:greek salad|Greek salad]], [[Wikipedia:Ranch dressing|ranch dressing]], [[Wikipedia:Petting zoo|petting zoo]], [[Wikipedia:Hermit crab|hermit crabs]], [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks], [[Wikipedia:Caffè macchiato|macchiato]], [[Wikipedia:Easter|Easter]], [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], [[Wikipedia:Sandwich|sandwich]], [[Wikipedia:Non-sufficient funds|a bad check]]. If anyone thinks these terms need to be linked back to, feel free to add them again. [[User:Chaosakita|ChaosAkita]] 00:13, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

The bulk of this is coming guys, I changed the name of the project name since it's sorta in character and it's less formal. Make it pretty but don't change the essence and definitely wikify this bitch. --Champthom 22:23, 12 February 2011 (PST)

I also want to thank Canine who helped me collect the information from Ivy's ghost, Gecki and Allucard for helping process it, and of course, Ivy's ghost herself for taking time from the afterlife to impart her story on us. --Champthom 22:25, 12 February 2011 (PST)

Excessive piping to Wikipedia

I like piping to Wikipedia as much as the next person, but I have never seen so many unnecessary pipings in one article. The piping guide says to keep Wikipedia links to a minimum, mostly to help define unfamiliar terms. I know that not everyone is from America and might not be familiar with the culture, but who in the (English-speaking) world hasn't heard of the FBI or Starbucks before? I tried to insert the music and entertainment allusions to the people who wouldn't be familiar with them, but here are the ones I removed: Boudicca, Lilith, New England, Greek salad, ranch dressing, petting zoo, hermit crabs, Starbucks, macchiato, Easter, FBI, sandwich, a bad check. If anyone thinks these terms need to be linked back to, feel free to add them again. ChaosAkita 00:13, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
