http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Linking is actually pretty interesting because you see it broken all the time.

In the example you cite that's actually not bad since in that context episode is specific (and it indeed links to that specific episode).


Also kinda lol to see there is an explicit rule against linking to obvious common english words.

quote:

For example, in the article on supply and demand:
  • almost certainly link "microeconomics" and "general equilibrium theory", as these are technical terms that many readers are unlikely to understand at first sight;
  • consider linking "price" and "goods" only if these common words have technical dimensions that are specifically relevant to the topic.
  • do not link to the "United States", because that is an article on a very broad topic with no direct connection to supply and demand.
  • definitely do not link "potato", because it is a common term with no particular relationship to the article on supply and demand, beyond its arbitrary use as an example of traded goods in that article.
  • Make sure that the links are directed to the correct articles: in this example, you should link good (economics), not good. Many common dictionary words link to disambiguation pages.

the worst thing is when there's links in the article that seem to go to another page but in fact redirect to the top of the page you're reading because some tard merged the articles and didn't remove the link

from the craigslist article, guess what the link is to:

in the previous example the text in question is "the blind kids" and is therefore also specific (it uses the definite article)

This might reflect some misunderstanding of the subtleties of the No Original Research policy, but I would argue that, except in those cases where a sample is hard to identify (and then references are certainly appropriate), the record itself is the source; the samples listed on the article at this point are almost all unambiguously identifiable

Holy gently caress they are hard on keeping it removed until someone at wikipedia specificly gets written approval from greg gills for he himself to release an original tracklist and time information in order to declare it as original information.

so the burden is now on girl talk himself to release information to satisfy wikipedia. holy loving poo poo
