Sorry for not being clear enough. Hmm, how to explain it... Well, you were doing something like that: Parthian Empire. As you can see, there's a space before period. As for your latest hyperlink, it's correct.

But, there's no reason to link the whole address to wikipedia. It's like with our wiki pages (and we really don't like putting the whole address, but that's not the point here), with the difference that you have to type wikipedia: before the name of the article, e.g. Parthian Empire. The alternative to it is using W template, which is much quicker, as you don't have to type the name twice. If you however want to link to a page but want to use different name for it, you can use W1 template instead. I presume that you're using visual editor, right? If so, I highly suggest switching to a source mode, at least for linking. Helps a lot in controlling what exactly you are doing.
