parenthetical statements in help:links
Hi! I updated an example on Help:Links a few days ago. After my first edit, I realized that having parentheses around the note included with the example was not consistent with the other examples on the page. None of the other examples' notes are parenthetical. So I removed the parentheses. Later, you added them back with the edit summary of "(Undo revision 362520 by Lsloan (talk) - not consistent)".

I disagree with your analysis, and I could just remove the parentheses again, but I wanted to learn from you why you thought it was not consistent to remove them. Can you please explain? Thank you! --Lance E Sloan 17:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not precisely sure how this happened, but it has to do with the pending changes system. When I first intended to remove the parenthesis it seems I instead undid the one removing them, and at that time, I did not know that there were subsequent pending revisions.  Then, when I then tried to approve my revision instead of approving just it it seems to have approved all pending revisions instead hence restoring the parenthesis.... Wow, that's confusing.  I'll fix it :)     Thorncrag    21:13, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
