Hatnote to WP:ANI

Re this edit: AlmostFrancis, the article gets a decent number of hits because it's a historically important city and a tourist attraction. It's also a level-5 vital article. WP:ANI, which you would like to link to from a hatnote, is almost always referred to using all caps – ANI not Ani– and the redirect ANI receives two orders of magnitude fewer views [1]. Personally, I'm not convinced we should link to such meta places like WP:ANI at all (vs. more fundamental pages like WP:AFD or WP:GNG which are much more likely to be encountered by the newbie editors that these hatnotes are meant for). However, if linked to at all, that should happen on the dab page: Ani has a hatnote to Ani (disambiguation), and that already links to WP:ANI. There's no reason to be singling out the noticeboard out of the many article entries listed there. – Uanfala (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Searching Wikipedia for 'ANI' and DDG for 'WP:ANI' lead here. Most of the people performing those searches are undoubtedly looking for WP:ANI and have never heard of this city. So, an additional hatnote with a direct link to WP:ANI would be beneficial. 2600:1003:B85D:E647:913D:6293:4030:10A6 (talk) 22:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting good faith edits

I'd suggest, we do not revert sourced good faith edits completely. I'd try to keep what is sourced with lesser sources, and find better sources and also welcome the new user. The new editor made quite some investment in such a large edit and as to mer this merits some more attention than just a revert.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this is false

It was discovered September 17, 1955 by archaeologist Mark Gioloany. 2601:184:4681:5340:8575:CD05:F72D:2528 (talk) 19:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Do you have a source for that which is better than the one used in the article? JezGrove (talk) 22:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no source given for the statement above. It was not footnoted. One can note all the ways in which Ani was chronicled by medieval writers, visited and drawn in the early modern period, excavated by Marr and so forth. No one "discovered" Ani on a particular date in 1955 or 1855, or 877 and so forth. 2601:184:4681:5340:C1B4:572F:9CF1:BAE1 (talk) 18:02, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
