Overlinking
After noting one of your recent edits, I looked over some of your previous edits and saw that a fair portion of your edits was adding wikilinks to an individual's religion or national background. As you can see at the portion of our style guideline that focuses on overlinking concerns, the linking of passing mentions of countries and religions are both considered to be overlinking. So you may want to consider saving that editing time in the future. But thank you for seeking to improve Wikipedia! -- Nat Gertler (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
Free SBL PDF Book Publications
Dear Jeffgr9,
Since you are on this List, if you are interested, here is a catalogue of 30 books that SBL Press (Society of Biblical Literature) made Free to download in PDF on this link: https://www.sbl-site.org/sbl-press/browse-books/ancient-near-east-monographs/ One is an older Israel Finkelstein book from 2013. Other topics include ancient Israel, Judah, Egypt, etc...that you may be interested in. Their publication dates range from 2008 to 2025. Sadly, almost all new academic books are very expensive today and my main interest is in Ancient Egypt. But I did save the Finkelstein book on my computer. There is also a Free 2018 publication on the archaeology and history of 8th century ancient Judah.
- PS: If you know other Wikipedia editors or personal friends who may be interested in these free books, please feel free to send them this SBL url link to them. Best Wishes from Canada,
