Links to the Open Access Bibliography
Hello, and welcome. While I appreciate your contributions, I do have to tell you that Wikipedia is not a link repository. The policy here is that links to external web sites should only be added where relevant. So, please stop adding the Open Access Bibliography to dozens of Wikipedia articles like ArXiv.org e-print archive and BioMed Central. Thank you, Jitse Niesen 00:16, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * If you look at the Open Access Bibliography, you will find that it is relevant in every place that it has been added. It provides numerous references for every chosen topic, its content is freely available, and it is  under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial License.

I did have a look at it; it does exactly what it says on the tin: it collects references to publications about Open Access. I know that the arXiv is part of the Open Access movement (of which I incidentally approve very much), but external links in the article ArXiv.org e-print archive should be specific to the arXiv. You will note that I have not removed the links from articles like open access, where it is clearly relevant. -- Jitse Niesen 00:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
