Hello. I have access to some informations about VPLP. And I was wondering if the table wouldn't be more readable. What are you thinking about this proposal? I used many sources: internal and external links. Please, If you have any recommendations about the presentation or anything, I listen to you.

Embedded links

Embedded links (of the style [http://www.example.com/ example]) should not be used to link specific words in a sentence to external websites. This is especially true of linking names to home pages. On Wikipedia, we link internally to our own articles, not to external websites. It's OK to link to an article that does not yet exist, as long as it is likely to satisfy our inclusion criteria. Embedded links can be used as citations. However, they should generally be converted to use footnoted reference tags, so that they show up in the list of references at the bottom of the page. This means that [http://www.example.com example] should generally be converted into <ref>[http://www.example.com/ example]</ref>. I'll try to remember to get around to cleanup this up myself, but it may take a while before I can motivate myself to go through the drudgery. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
