[edit] References vs. external links

Is there really any point to moving the weblink for Bruce Feiler from the "authorlink=" in the citation to an external links list? Seems not to look as good, and leaves a line blank in the citation. Plus there are no other external links, making an external links section less necessary. The link is really not a resource specific to the subject of the article, either. It is a website related to the work of the author, in general. (A subject far greater in scope than the subject of the article.)

I propose moving the url back into the citation and removing the external links section until better external links are compiled. I will do this soon, if there is no serious opposition. -Zeno Izen 23:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• I believe the "authorlink" attribute is intended to point to a Wikipedia page, although I can't find any explicit statement on this in Generic citations. I don't believe the link belongs in the body of the article, since, as you pointed out, it has nothing to do with the subject of the article... Valrith 21:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Oh, heck. My mistake. Look at Template talk:Cite book for specific instructions for the template, Wikipedia:Citation templates for a menu of all the citation templates. It's pretty obvious from the top that you don't put website urls on the authorlink link line. I don't know what was on my mind when I made that mistake. -Zeno Izen 17:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
