[edit] External Links

I deleted two of the external links today and the explanation for the deletion is below:

  • Fan club -- Wikipedia external links guidelines say that "a site that requires registration or a subscription should not be linked unless the web site itself is the topic of the article." And, links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups) or USENET should be avoided. This is a link for a fan club. Plus, the main point of the external link is to provide more information than could be updated here, what more information could a fan club provide?
  • The Amy & Erin Show - U Can't Touch This, mc hammer -- This is a link to a particular video that is meant to provide humor. There is no clear indication that this is an "official" You Tube page for Erin Sanders which could constitute a copyright issue. Secondly, how does this provide any more information on the topic of the article? The argument could be made that because she is in then it should be added...this is a false argument due to the fact that, say someone put one of Robin Williams movies on You Tube; besides being a HUGE copyright violation it would provide no bearing on te topic and just lead to a rush of You Tube internal links being added to all actors (and actresses) with everything on You Tube or other video sites.

If you think this is a mistake and it should be added, then please discuss it on the forum...Wikipedia is nothing if not by consensus. Thanks! Josborne2382 05:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

  • One more thing, I noticed that the You Tube Video is mentioned in the article so I could see why it would be linked on the article. However, I'm not so sure that statement is encylopaedic and I'm not sure it should be in the article. Plus, if the article were to link to a You Tube video, it needs to be to the original poster and the link didn't seem to be from the original poster. Thanks again!

  • Whether or not there should be a link to the video I don't know, but there should be a link to the user page because it's her official youtube account. There are links to it from her official site. Ospinad 05:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
    • That's what I was saying, that the link to her You Tube should be to a "main page." Thanks! Josborne2382 15:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
