As usual you have brilliant ideas Kim. I was going to the article on
wikipedia and adding my contributions as references. This is when I
realised that I was starting a new article on ikebana thinking one did
not exist in Arabic, but in fact it did. The way it is pronounced in
Japanese is ikebana and that is what I wrote in the phonetic
rendition. I was told off because there was already an article but the
pronunciation was eekeebana. From then on, I am more careful and I
look at the side bar with the languages.
But automatic links are a very good idea.
