Re:Proxy List

[edit]

Hi Zzenitt, I'd encourage you to check out Wikipedia's guidelines about external links, most importantly WP:ELMAYBE. There, we suggest in point 2 3 that a good link to be considered is "a well-chosen link to a directory of websites or organizations" because "long lists of links are not acceptable" in Wikipedia articles. If it's listed on the DMOZ, that's fine because we link to the DMOZ at the bottom of the Proxy list article, so if someone wants to access the link, they can go there. Based on that guideline and because the link is already listed on DMOZ (which we link to), I'd say that the link should not be added to the article. Happy editing, SpencerT♦C 20:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Woops I meant point 3 of the guideline. Anyway for the link, if you really feel that the dmoz link is insufficient, it's best to discuss that on the talk page of the Proxy list article Talk:Proxy list. I don't have enough familiarity with the subject matter to give a great opinion, so it's best to add a comment there asking if the link should be included or not.
