[edit] External Links

I'm trying to get my head around the do's and don'ts of external links. Is this an acceptable use of an external link? On the one hand it seems to simply be a link to a guide website, put in by a user who has pretty much only added links to that and its sister site to various articles, on the other hand it could be legitimate in directing readers to a source about the Mayan culture.

I've found myself cutting quite a few external links and wanted to get some advice on whether I'm being over-zealous. Andyfarrell 10:59, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

No that's not an acceptable extlink. Thanks for doing this sort of patrolling... --Jonboy 11:24, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
