[edit] Missing references

The current version of the article makes some references to sources that aren't actually listed in the References section:

• (TM-E 30-451, 1945)
• (Valias, 2005)
• (Ingraham & Jones, 2003)

Never mind, they're in the External links section. That was a bit confusing to me, but I'm not sure if there's a better way of presenting it. Perhaps external links used as references should go under "References" instead of external links? Perhaps a matter of taste. --Delirium 01:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

That would not follow Wiki's manual of style.--Primalchaos 14:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The opposite is true, actually. According to Wikipedia:Cite sources, external links used as references should be in the references section, and only external links not used as references should be in the external links section, which may/should be renamed "further reading" in such cases, for clarity. Changing accordingly. --Delirium 06:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

External links were damaged - some schmuck had linked it to porn. Please insert the links again.

[edit] Warning

Isn't the following warning wrong? "Anyone encountering any undetonated landmine, no matter how old, should always contact local authorities and not attempt to handle such a device in any way." Let's say I encounter such a mine. I contact the local authorities (why "local" btw?). They send someone. According to this warning, he should also contact local authorities, and so on, recursively... My point is in fact that this warning is POV because it is only written for incompetent readers. Ideally, it should be replaced by informative content like accidents statistics... Marc Mongenet 22:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the sentence - while Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instruction - advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. --Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not →Raul654 22:27, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos!

Great featured article, well done all concerned! --22:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
