== Red links ==

Hi Krochman. Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you already know how to make links. Just a couple pointers, thought. An article with more than a couple red (i.e., dead) links looks incomplete and ugly. While there is a certain logic in adding a couple "hopeful links" that maybe someone will create a page for eventually, it's really best to keep the red links to one or two. In general, book titles by relatively obscure authors will never have their own page independent of the author page, so it's not worthwhile liking book titles to nonexistent pages. (More useful to link them to the author's page, if this makes sense in the context.) Also, generally you don't want to link last names, since these just go to "disambiguation" pages that will not be useful to the reader. For example, just links to a page about the name "Epstein", not to the author of the work cited. You need to a little legwork, and see if that actual author has a Wikipedia page, and then change the name and add a link. (I changed "Epstein" to "A. Epstein", but I still have to check the correctness of that.) That's all for now. Thanks for your work. —Dfass 15:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
