InternetArchiveBot, thanks so much for your support in adding the external link info to this article! Since I'm a new contributor to Wikipedia, could you please explain when external link is needed and what information goes in the external link section? Thanks!

Furthermore, I noticed some text strings that I linked them to Wikipedia articles are in blue as they should be, BUT several of them are NOT, although when the mouse cursor hovers over them, pop-up windows of the referred articleS will appear. Could you please tell me what to do for all the linked strings to be distinctly blue, so readers of the George Leitmann article know comprehensive Wikipedia articles are linked to those text strings? Thank you very much!

The external links section generally contains links that provide additional information, not yet present in the rest of the article. This can be like an official site, very detailed information that is too detailed for the article or something that is not about the topic itself, but heavily related to the topic. In addition, we have references. References are put within the text of an article, generally after the sentence (or facts within a sentence) which the reference is meant to support. They are then all (automatically) collected and displayed at the end of the article, generally in a section called "References".

The InternetArchiveBot to which you responded above, looks at all links in references and makes sure that the Internet Archive has a copy of that website preserved for eternity and if required (because the original website disappeared) adds a link the internet archive copy of the website. InternetArchiveBot is a robot, it doesn't speak back normally ;)

BTW. references generally are NOT put on the section titles. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:04, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
