Overlinking

Hi Hamster.flying - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Intelligence quotient and Plant, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in an article, and we do not normally link:-

• Everyday words understood by most readers.
• Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
• Common units of measurement and dates

Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:21, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hamster.flying, I also reverted your edit to Animal. The first sentence of that article already had nine wikilinks, and linking "cell" was overkill, especially as that word was immediately followed by a link to "blastula". Keep editing, observe what our usual practice is, and you will develop a feel for a proper level of linking.
