Talk:Alectryon (plant)

Addition of links to Flickr
An editor has been persistently adding a link to Fickr in the "External links" section. External links should conform to normal WP:RS. Flickr is a crowd-sourced repository of information with no editorial control. There is no way of knowing if the images linked to are even of Alectryon plants. It clearly fails WP:RS standards. Sites that fail to meet criteria for reliable sources may be included if they contain information about the subject from knowledgeable sources. However Flickr is not "from knowledgeable sources" as far as we can ascertain, and a page of photos is scarcely "information" in the normal sense. Moreover, the "Further Reading" section is intended to help readers "learn more about the article subject". This article already has an extensive gallery, and a link to the Wikimedia page. I'm having difficulty seeing what more a reader would learn from the Flickr page. As such I have removed the link. Mark Marathon (talk) 05:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I disagree with a page of photos is scarcely "information" in the normal sense. Not only is there the proverb that a picture is worth a thousand words, images are routinely cataloged and indexed as information. --Bejnar (talk) 22:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Maybe to be added: Alectryon vitiensis ?
