I don't see any way in which it conflicts with those guidelines. If you could let me know where you feel it is in violation, I could better respond. Thanks. StaceyEOB (talk) 20:32, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@StaceyEOB: TRPoD is correct; As WP:EL specifies, external links should be things like "official" sites on the subject or media archives about it. Some of the links included are works by Buchanan which could be included in their own section (not as bare links, but URLs with citation-like details). Some of these links, like the KCET URL, could be references. Some, like the WGBH link, don't seem to belong here at all. External links should not look like a dumping ground of miscellaneous websites. Chris Troutman (talk)00:13, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
specifically, do you this Pacific Standard Time link is problematic? I agree that many here do not apply but thought that was one that potentially would, and might make the issue clearer to Marilyn. thanks, Chris. StaceyEOB (talk) 00:16, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
TRPoD's point about that link is formatting it to make it more descriptive. It can stay in the external link section. It'a a work of Buchanan's so it could serve as a reference better than an external link, in my opinion. Take a look at Pablo Picasso. There's a bunch of URLs included in the references but only a couple in external links. Those that are there are descriptive of what the URL is about.

I agree it could be better used as a reference. But I wanted to give her an example of that that link should look like (not just "PST Festival" but * Pacific Standard Time: Nancy Buchanan discusses Hair Transplant (1972))—so that I know, is that still problematic? In this case, it isn't actually a work but audio of her discussing the context in which the work was first created/presented. Anyways, the article has larger problems to be addressed than these external links so probably best to leave it here. Thanks! StaceyEOB (talk) 00:36, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, StaceyEOB, Chris and TRPoD. I just marked this page "patrolled" assuming it means that I'm reading it and keeping up on the discussion. I will make changes as resolved. Best. Marilyn Nix (talk) 23:23, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
