Thank you for your note and query on my talk page about this link, which you added to the Hippie article and I removed. In my edit summary, I referred to WP:EL. If you look at the section titled "What to link," there is a list of things to consider when adding a link. The second of these reads:
 * "Is it relevant to the content of the article (useful, helpful, informative, factual, etc.)?"

So let me ask you: What does this link tell us about hippies? I did a search for the word hippie on several pages and came up with nothing. So if you consider this from the point of view of a general Wikipedia reader, it seems unlikely that the link is going to help them understand more about hippies.

Then, looking at the section "Links normally to be avoided," I noted several things that surely apply. It is sometimes hard to view a site that is important to you dispassionately, and, believe me, most of us have experienced this. I've looked at this twice and can't see how the link meets the above criterion. But, hey, I make mistakes, so please let me know if I've missed something. Sunray (talk) 07:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
