Schultz's last words
editHi there, I saw you went to the Help Desk for assistance. The short answer is that we interlink (also called wikito other articles on Wikipedia using [[]]s, and only put external links in places where they are well identified and reasonably expected, like in references or the "External links" section. There is never a reason to remove a Wikilink, such as from American Express to then make it an external link to another website. This is a hard and fast rule, because some editors would take advantage of Wikipedia's web presence to embed links for the sole purpose of directing traffic to their own sites rather than for the benefit of the reader. The other link you placed a few times on that page was also unnecessary, as that was in a whole section about his words and they were cited. One could click on the cites to view those sources. But, if they hadn't been, a reliable source could be added as a reference. Such as "His last words were ABC.<ref>website.com</ref>, whereas any instance of "His [website.com last words] were ABC." would violate our MOS. Hope this clears things up! If you have any other questions, you can reply here on your own talk page, or if it's about a specific change to an article, then on that talk page. Cheers, JesseRafe (talk) 21:28, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
