[edit]

Thanks for the edits on this article and advice in the teahouse @Michael D. Turnbull. I was wondering if we could revert your edit about removing external links from the selected works list here. I read through the policy WP:ELPOINTS and agree that normally you would limit external links, but I think this actually falls in a special case where it's useful to have free online media linked (WP:ELYES). There's more info in the manual of style section here, basically saying that links aren't required or restricted in this case: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works#Online books and articles (I got there from the WP:ELLIST note on lists of author works). Since links can be added or excluded, I'd prefer to keep them, since I already tracked down the links and I agree with the ELYES rationalization that this type of link adds value for readers.

@Hobbitina Yes, I agree that these links are OK and I apologise for removing them. I'm so used to seeing spammy links to sites selling books that I acted without checking these specific ones. I can't directly self-revert owing to later edits but I'll put the links back in a moment. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
