Thanks for the great graph

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the great graph you uploaded of the comparison between countries after the 100th case of COVID-19. This is exactly what I've been wondering and it's all there really nicely. Very helpful to have the doubles in a day / two days / three /week /month lines on the graph. Very informative. The fact that it goes from a fixed point in each country's epidemic (100th case) rather than fixed point in time is a stroke of brilliance. If you get the chance to post an updated version with more recent statistics I'd be interested to see it. Probably the single best CV19 graph I've seen. Thanks!

Welcome! The graph is from https://www.datawrapper.de/. I couldn't find exactly that graph (you can do it if you search enough) but there are a lot of other versions even with more data. Like: https://app.datawrapper.de/chart/kNbOh/visualize#refine-the-chart. --Sinucep (talk) 12:37, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Annotated links

Hello Sinucep - you have been adding annotated links to See also items, could you let me know how these have arisen they do nont seem to serve any purpose to me. Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 15:57, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've seen there is a tendency to add short descritipons to See also items and some users use the annotated link template. I think in some cases it is very useful. Sinucep (talk) 16:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - but I have never seen this used and find it completely unnecessary - can you say what it achieves? I have undone the recent Flagellum edit. --Iztwoz (talk) 16:11, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, probably the Flagellum edit was superfluous. For example if you have acronyms or difficult to understand items in the See also section, the descriptions can save you time and add depth to the article. But I will wait to see what other users tell before changing other wikilinks. Sinucep (talk) 16:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see that even adding descriptions to See also items needs this annotated link.? --Iztwoz (talk) 16:25, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is to avoid redundancy and to increase information centralization like wikidata has been doing for some time now! Sinucep (talk) 16:32, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you point out these earlier uses you referred to - as I said I have never seen their use in See also items and i have seen a great many! --Iztwoz (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Using {{Annotated link}}s is fine – they can add helpful detail to the links in the See also section. However, Short descriptions are intended to be short and so they are often too terse for a good See also link. In many cases, the Annotated link description should be treated as just a first draft and then improved with a hand-crafted description — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 16:47, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Iztwoz, here: Exoplanet#See_also, 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine#See_also

@GhostInTheMachine, yes, I fully agree and I will improve the defective descriptions. Sinucep (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions

Thank you for adding Short descriptions to articles. However, many of these descriptions have been too long – the current guidelines at WP:SDSHORT advise a limit of around 40 characters. Please read the full guidelines at WP:SDCONTENT — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 16:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will read the guideline and edit "long short descritipons". Sinucep (talk) 16:25, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
