My apologies for violating the protocol. I am a novice. I would like to know if I may post bibliographic references to relevant books on a given topic. For instance, under the article, Tofu, I would like to insert links to several books that are about cooking with tofu. Apparently, I violated the protocol by creating external links to the publisher's informational pages on each of the books. I would like to know if am allowed to include a bibliographic reference to the books' ISBN numbers, instead of referring to the publisher's web site? Any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated. RDiamond (talk) 18:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
