Question for Wikipedians
Thank you for the welcome, TeaDrinker. I do have a question for you regarding external links: I vaguely remember reading in Wiki:EL that if an external link exists in two articles and more directly belongs in one more than the other, it should be removed from the one with the indirect connection. But, rereading Wiki:EL just now, I can't find that specific reference.

Case in point: There is an article about the architect Jean Nouvel and an article about the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis (whose new building is designed by Jean Nouvel). Both articles contain external links to Ateliers Jean Nouvel website. The Guthrie article contains a link to the Jean Nouvel article. It seems to me that the external link the Ateliers Jean Nouvel website properly belongs in only the Jean Nouvel article. Your thoughts?

(Note: this is a duplicate of a question I posted on TeaDrinkers talk page -- not sure who responds to  so I thought I'd give it a whirl as well.  Please let me know if it's bad form to post the same question in multiple places.)

Response to help request
WP:EL is a guideline, not a policy, so use your best editorial judgment. As far as I am concerned, I probably agree with you but I wouldn't make it an issue if someone felt strongly otherwise.  Jody B talk 01:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note (and sorry it took as long as it did to reply, I have been off wiki for the past day or so). I wouldn't hesitate to remove an external link which you find of only marginal relevance, and I would completely agree with your assessment of the link.  In fact, I could find no information about the theater on the Nouvel website.  I agree it seems reasonable to remove the link.  If someone does want to keep it in, you can discuss it on the talk page, but I don't think it is likely.  Keep up the great work, and feel free to write me a note again if there is anything else I can help with.  --TeaDrinker 23:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Guthrie Theater production history, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Meredith Wilson ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Guthrie_Theater_production_history check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Guthrie_Theater_production_history?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
