==Disambiguation link notification for October 25== |
|||
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Jaffe reaction]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Ludwig Traube]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Jaffe_reaction|check to confirm]] | [[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Jaffe_reaction|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to [[Orphan works in the United States]]. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please [[WP:DEADREF|repair or replace the link]], if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Welcome|welcome page]] to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. <!-- Template:Uw-deadlink --> [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 22:37, 25 October 2012 (UTC) |

:* The reference was retained, in reference #5. The sentence for ref #5 was a '''direct link''' to the PDF so I simply turned it into a reference instead. Then I noticed the same material was referenced, albeit less completely, in the first sentence. According to the MOS (WP:LEADCITE), the lead shouldn't really be referenced (because the material will appear again in the article) and since the reference was simply for the definition of the term ''orphan work'', it didn't seem to need any citation, especially in a lead section. I hope this clarifies. [[User:Deadhenry|[+][dead.henry]]] ([[User talk:Deadhenry#top|talk]]) 23:02, 25 October 2012 (UTC) |

:* Can you please explain why the quotation marks were replaced around the phrase ''orphan work''. It's a standard, valid term; why the hedging? Thank you. [[User:Deadhenry|[+][dead.henry]]] ([[User talk:Deadhenry#top|talk]]) 23:17, 25 October 2012 (UTC) |

:* I am AGF but have noticed several other instances where the author links directly from the article to external sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Links (see external links). You probably missed those. I'll leave it to another ''more-seasoned'' wikipedian to correct them. Thank you. |
