[edit] Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files

Wikipedia is neither a mirror nor a repository of links, images, or media files. All content added to Wikipedia may have to be edited mercilessly to be included in the encyclopedia. By submitting any content, you agree to release it for free use under the GNU FDL. 1

Wikipedia articles are not:

Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. --Jack Lose 08:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC) This user now indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet

Inline links as references for quoted material are not link farming. The policy you quote is not applicable here as it is in reference to long lists of external links as endmatter and not those within and directly supporting an article. Vsmith 11:50, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Jack, references for quoted material are required (and their absence is tolerated as a temporary situation only). Unsourced material can be removed by any editor and the only defense is the addition of references. See WP:CITE, WP:RS, etc. AvB ÷ talk 15:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

A fair point, of course...when it hasn't been abused. ;) - WarriorScribe 20:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] converting refrences...

Can someone who knows about useing the "ref" tag and the citation templates convert the expernal links into "refrences"? It would look nicer and it would be the more correct way to do it... yeah yeah someone's gonna tell me {{gofixit}}... but I don't realy know how to apply those templates or the "ref" tag. Thanks! ---J.S (t|c) 21:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
