::I wonder why external links are any worse than putting whole-text into Wikipedia? If the model really IS an encyclopedia, this is the other end of the "Wikipedia is not a dictionary" statement. Is Wikipedia a whole library? --MichaelTinkler As someone who tried to add some texts, there are some caveats: * There is a size limit on edited pages. At least one Shakespeare play wouldn't be accepted as a whole. * Project Gutenberg has good mirrors. Let them take the load for big files, so link to their mirrors page. I do believe that short texts, like "Modest Proposal" and Casey at the bat are worthwhile additions, though, since they can be digested almost as part of the article. -- GWO |
