Note on references edit

Hi there! Thanks for your additions to Stegodyphus lineatus. Just a note that when you added content to the article you added a reference that is vaguely worded and password-protected: e.g. http://www.jstor.org.ezp.slu.edu/stable/pdf/3706302.pdf?acceptTC=true is only accessible to Students of St. Louis University, while the (presumed) source website: http://www.jstor.org/stable/370630 is visible to all (even if a subscription is required to view the entire document). The author, title, date, and journal information should always be included, while urls are optional. Please be aware of such institutional urls (e.g Ebsco-Host, JSTOR, ProQuest etc.): as a rule of thumb if any part of a school name is in the URL for a source not intrinsically tied to the institution, a more general url should be used (see WP:SOURCELINKS for more). All the best, --Animalparty! (talk) 21:10, 24 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
