I'm curious, how do the editors decide which arbitrary words in a sentence to link to a related article?

Obligatory comment from me referencing The Best Show!

Was it really necessary to introduce him as "Punk icon Jello Biafra"? Does ESPN refer to Michael Jordan as "Basketball star Michael Jordan"?

655321 (July 29, 2008)

...not that Jello Biafra:punk = Michael Jordan:basketball

MilesQToast (July 29, 2008)

sure they do, probably in terms a little loftier sounding than 'basketball star.' but sure they do. I can't count how many times I've heard something along the lines of "We are now joined on the GM Onstar hotline by hall of famer Peter Gammons"
