-== Frank Abagnale --  Iona Prep Alumni ==
+Hello,
-Hi there,
-You reverted my removal of [[Frank Abagnale]] from the alumni list for [[Iona Prep]], citing the inline citation from "Talk of the Sound". Wikipedia's own article on Abagnale seems to disagree with you, stating that he ''claimed'' to have gone there on multiple occasions, but that he never made an appearance in the yearbook nor was remembered by other Iona Prep alumni. I trust the source cited by the article for Abagnale more than a local news site taking the claims of a prolific fraudster at face value. Maybe Abagnale could be kept on the alumni list, but with the clarification that no evidence has ever emerged of his attendance there?

-Hello! I believe that edit I made was perfectly valid. The wikilinks that I removed were ''repeated'' wikilinks, and I don't believe they were constructive. [[User:Suo Edits|Suo Edits]] ([[User talk:Suo Edits|talk]]) 18:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
-:They were the first instance of those links in the body of the text. The only other location they were linked was in the lead, which, for most of them, was many paragraphs prior. It is common practice on articles that aren't very short to wikilink the first instance of articles after the lead.
