GA quality from Feb 3rd. Hook is well sourced and image is free. Available in many languages. Thank you for your contribution for International Women's Day - there is some competition for places - but that's what its about. I do find the "external video" link unusual. Is this OK by wiki rules? Victuallers (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- My concern wasnt about using video as a source. Video could be fine. My concern was that links to external sources is normally not allowed in wiki articles except in the references and external links sections. I have never seen a link to an external video within an article. Is this an innovation? Victuallers (talk) 22:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- The video is linked to via the {{external media}} template, which is designed to be placed in the body of an article. I'd never seen this template myself until a few days ago, but it is widely used and considered acceptable. DoctorKubla (talk) 16:52, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- - Well thanks DrK (I think its weird!) - but tick anyway Victuallers (talk) 22:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
