Paul Allen
It is improper to self-reference Wikipedia in the text of articles, such as you did in the Paul Allen article: "Wikipedia's List of motor yachts by length." Wikipedia's content is free to be mirrored, copied, and reused in practically any way by anyone, and indeed it is replicated by many on the Internet. So it would be incongruous to have that phrase appear in Reference.com's copy of the article, e.g., because the link would be to the Reference.com page of yacht rankings, not Wikipedia's. There is discussion of these sorts of things on one or more of the pages of guides, policies, etc., that are linked to from the welcome page and other help. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for contributing! --Kbh3rd talk
