Re:Your email
If someone wants to read articles from the Museum of American History, they can go to the Museum of American History's website on their own. Wikipedia's purpose is not to guide our readers to other sites; we are not a directory or a search engine. We're an encyclopedia. If those links contain information that could improve an article here, you are welcome to add the information to the body of the article and cite the source in the appropriate format. Yours is a very common argument, but simply adding links to external links sections is not helpful, no matter how useful you think the site is. Kafziel Talk 15:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
