Linking to EB article

[edit]

I don't agree that the optional "article" argument should have generated a link to 1911encyclopedia.org. Problem is, text on those pages can no longer be considered public domain, and it's not a good idea to link to what is a commercial outfit claiming copyright (see 11th_edition_of_the_Encyclopædia_Britannica#Versions of this public domain work claiming copyright) in case some editor is misled into using the text. We could link to Tim Starling's copy of the OCR scans at s:User:Tim_Starling/ScanSet_TIFF_demo (if he keeps it there forever), but unfortunately can't automate finding the right page.
