External links

Per Wikipedia:External links and common sense, why should we link to the journal when there's already an encyclopedia page for it? And what is the Gim Connect link? Biosthmors (talk) 16:56, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion - The GIM connect appears to be a social media initiative of the SGIM. Per WP:EL, this link probably should be removed as it is prominently available on the main page of the official site. The Journal is already noted in the article body and is wikilinked, so it is not necessary, and again per WP:EL, it is a deep link off the official site so it should also be removed. -- Whpq (talk) 18:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
