Thought

I think Merv is in the right direction with this. While it has never been codified anywhere, we are an encyclopedia and episode guide -- and we are not a repository for links. Wikipedia itself has something similar: "Wikipedia is not a repository of links". Furthermore, I wouldn't mind having people scrutinize links for inclusion. For instance, editors will question an edit that is questionable and not sourced correctly, so why should we treat web links any differently? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 21:56, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

The BW:CP is defined for purposes of possaible links. If we were to follow the suggestion of questioning all the links provided minus the offfical sites. Having a "Nicki "Cally" Clyne Fan Site" doesn't have any encyclopedia value. "Battlestar Helios (RPG)" - we don't use an fan fiction information. RPG is non encyclopedia. We do it to one, we do it to all. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 22:04, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

I agree. Every site should be evaluated and treated equally. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 22:11, 13 July 2006 (CDT)
