Links to External websites
I am editing the page for General Sir Chris Deverell. He is a Mentor at the Creative Destruction Lab in Oxford. I have tried to link that in the text to Creative Destruction Lab's page which lists their Mentors, but wikipedia is stripping these links out. Likewise, he is an Honorary Fellow of Mansfield College and so I was trying to link to the page which lists Mansfield's Honarary Fellows, but that too doesnt seem to work. The same applies to the list of members of the Commission for Smart Government, of which he was one.

I must be doing something wrong but I dont understand what it is. I am a new editor. Can anyone help?

 * Hi - Thanks for the question. While internal links to other wikipedia articles are encouraged, we don't allow external links to web pages outside wikipedia (see WP:ELNO).
