Logical Inconsistency edit

So the box on the top asserts this article needs additional sources, while the recently added (12 July 2009) box below asserts there are too many links. Which one? It can't be both. In fact, the two positions being propounded at the same time appears to be an argument for getting rid of both boxes. 174.21.22.18 (talk) 09:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

External links are not sources. WP:EL versus WP:RS. Read those pages sometime to learn how Wikipedia works. Some of the links may be appropriate as sources, but they'd have to be moved to the statements in the article which they support and not just in a long crazy list at the end.

Replace reference to "Murphy's Law" with "Muphry's Law" as it is this latter which closely resembles McKean's Law 82.65.82.215 (talk) 16:46, 20 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
