Re: Larry McDonald deletion
Owensw, thank you for forwarding Professor Wilkes' note. Professor Wilkes' protest notwithstanding, my edits to the Larry McDonald article were in accord with official Wikipedia policy:

"Sites that have been used as sources in the creation of an article should be cited in the article, and linked as references, either in-line or in a references section. Links to these source sites are not 'external links' for the purposes of this guideline, and should not normally be duplicated in an external links section. Exceptions (i.e. sites that can be both references and External Links) include an official site of the article's subject, or a domain specifically devoted to the article's subject which contains multiple subpages and which meets the above criteria. [From here; emphasis mine.]"

It was for this reason I deleted the external link to Professor Wilkes' article. --darolew (talk) 01:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
