Tips regardingExternal links section
[edit]- In the "External links" section, try to avoid separate links to multiple pages in the same website; instead, try to find an appropriate linking page within the site. See WP:ELPOINTS.
- A website on a specific subject should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject. See WP:LINKSTOAVOID.
