Talk:Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation

Youtube links
These two Youtube links are perfectly acceptable as external links because they provide context for the Coca-Cola Scholarship and what the Foundation does and stands for. We simply are providing context and further places to look for the topic of the article. I do not think they should be removed merely because they are from Youtube. I have undone the automatic "bot" edit and made it clear in the links that they are from Youtube. Nealpfox (talk) 16:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

For more relevant reading concerning acceptable external links: from Wikipedia:External links:

For policy or technical reasons, editors are restricted from linking to the following, without exception: 1. Material that violates the copyrights of others per contributors' rights and obligations should not be linked. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website has licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. 2. Sites that match the Wikipedia-specific or multi-site spam blacklist without being whitelisted. MediaWiki's code will automatically block any edits that contain such links.
