How do you make a subsection of an article link-able from somewhere else? I'm currently cleaning up the article on song of susannah, and in it i mention Black Thirteen. I think it should at least be able to link to the section in this article concerning The Wizard's Glass. Perhaps a separate article on The Wizards Glasses would be more appropriate than a subsection of the article on Book IV, seeing as the Wizard's Glasses are mentioned, and appear in more books than just the 4th.

[edit] Spoilers
I appreciate the spoiler warning at the beginning of the article. However, any spoilers should only describe the novel Wizard and Glass, since that is the content of this article, and NOT spoil other novels in the series, as the section on the Wizard's Rainbow does.
[edit] Link to Summary
I have written a very detailed summary of Wizard and Glass and I want to give other users of wikipedia a possibility to download and read it. Currently, it is on my private homepage (which is nothing but a blank page with the file on it), so I could link it. I want to express that I DO NOT want to advertise or promote anything -- I just want to share it. What should I do (without violating any guidelines)? I would appreciate your advices. oraovica
- I was the one who removed it, so I didn't originally respond (figured I would let others discuss it). I don't want to be rude or an ass about it, but if you see number 11 of Links normally to be avoided, unless you are a "recognized authority" (Robin Furth? King himself?) it should be avoided. If you've referenced specific sections of the book and are willing to make your work GFDL, you can contribute it to the article itself. However, if it is not clearly referenced, it would probably be considered original research which is also avoided, sorry. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 14:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- and posting it as a wikibook would be prohibited under the same reason (original research), I guess. However, is it counted as original research if i only summarize a book, without interpreting it? thx for the answer -- oraovica
- That's a good question, I dunno what the restrictions are on wikibooks, I'm only active on 'pedia. As for summary vs interpretation - if the interpretation is citable (as in somebody in a citable way had the same interpretation) then it is OK; your interpretation happened to match theirs.
