My first comment is that your edit looks like blatant vandalism (I'm not saying it is, but to an experienced editor it looks like it) because you took out the interwiki links and the categories. If you are trimming out external links, make sure you don't get rid of the interwikis and categories which are at the very bottom of the edit pane. WLU
Actually, on a closer look, you have a point about the lm.com article at least - it does look like it would better serve as a reference. I had thought it was referenced but it's actually just a bunch of doctor's testimonials. I think it should be moved to the talk page as a handy generic reference for information about the plant that could be integrated with the article - where it grows, what it looks like, etc. The NYU school of medicine I kept because it is heavily referenced, and appears to provide an ongoing updated list of information on Maca. That one I definitely think should remain in the body of the article, and I think is of sufficient use to keep as an external link. WLU 20:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
