[edit] The Cosby Show DVD
Stop removing my edit. There are many people complaining about the fact that the Season 1 DVD of The Cosby Show contains the syndicated versions of the episodes. It is a verifiable, neutral fact that can be backed up by reading the user reviews on amazon.com. I just don't know how to put the references on there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.36.120 (talk) 10:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- I would be happy to help you add a quality reference, but user reviews on Amazon.com are not acceptable sources for a Wikipedia article. It would be different if you had a newspaper article describing a large letter-writing campaign to First Look Studios, or if media critics at the BBC, Entertainment Weekly and Time magazine had all written articles complaining about the first season DVD. See WP:V and WP:RS for more info on acceptable sources in Wikipedia. JTSchreiber (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] wikilinks
Hi, wikilinks can be used in each section of an article in addition to a lede. I think this is done as the lede should be a stand-alone summary of an article; in addition often someone will link to a section in a large article so it's fine and quite helpful to repeat a wikilink in that way. It's discouraged to "overlink" the same wikilink more than once within a section. I've also added an infobox to the barber article if you can fill in any more of the sections go for it!

- Yes, I have read the rule about one wikilink per section, but I believe that is mainly intended for long articles. I don't think that the Janette Barber article will be long anytime soon. I have seen editors delete wikilinks that are duplicated between sections on short articles like this using some automated tool, like TW. The tool apparently determines which articles are long enough to have links duplicated between sections. I'll leave the new links alone, but don't be surprised if someone else deletes them.
