External links in the Sustains article

Hi,

Any chance you can remove the external links int he lead for this article? They don't really belong there - use them as references instead. It looks like it's NPOV promo if they're there - and someone will certainly come along and remove them.

Be aware of the danger of being way too promotional btw. There are all sorts of policies on this, but the key is to be as neutral as possible. I'll come back to the article in a couple of days, but don't have time right now. If you can try and apply those principles first then it'd really help.

Thanks. That looks better. Do you have access to stuff like newspaper articles which could be used as refs? Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
