External links
edit- Some things just grow by incremental edits and get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, has grown to 8 entries. Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a forth.
- The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
- ELpoints #3) states:
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
- LINKFARM states:
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
- ELMIN:
Minimize the number of links
. -- - ELCITE:
Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
- WP:ELBURDEN:
Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them
.
- Excessive links moved here:
- Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, Google books
- Asteroids and comets rotation curves, CdR – Geneva Observatory, Raoul Behrend
- Discovery Circumstances: Numbered Minor Planets (1)-(5000) – Minor Planet Center
- 2001 Einstein at AstDyS-2, Asteroids—Dynamic Site
- 2001 Einstein at the JPL Small-Body Database
