Adding link to articles[edit]
Hello, and thank you for your start at contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you will continue to make many more contributions. I see that some of your edits have added links from one article to another, known as "wikilinks". Wikilinks can be very helpful, but it is a very common mistake among new editors to add too many wikilinks to articles. Generally speaking, a wikilink should be added only if it provides information which is likely to help readers of the article in which the link is placed to understand content of that article, or provide further information closely connected to content of that article. That usually means a link to a page which either explains words or expressions in the article or provides background information which is necessary in order to understand content of that article. Linking to articles in other situations is not just unnecessary, it can actually be harmful, because research has established that the more irrelevant, or only slightly relevant, links there are in a page, the less likely readers are to find the ones which they are likely to find useful. Thus, for example, nobody reading the article Sri Rama Michael Tamm is likely to need to consult the article Europe in order to understand what "Europe" means, nor does the article Europe contain any information about Sri Rama Michael Tamm, so linking the one to the other is not likely to be helpful.
