Alexandria Kleztet
Thanks for you addition to the article List of Klezmer bands; I removed the link to an external website as it does not appear to conform to Wikipedia's external linking guidelines. Please take a quick read, specifically the section which describes links normally to be avoided. N B  S  H (talk) 22:07, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I took a quick look - the vast majority of the other bands have links to their respective Wikipedia pages. While it is generally appropriate to provide an external link to the official webpage of an article's subject, the subject of the article is not the Alexandria Kleztet.  Take a quick read of the Links in Lists section towards the end of WP:ELNO and item #2 within WP:ELPOINTS.  I would suggest pursuing one of the following two avenues: If the band in question meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians, try creating a page for them and including the link there.  Failing that, perhaps find a reliable source that states the band in question is a Klezmer band and add an inline citation to the entry. N  B  S  H (talk) 22:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
