Please do not mass add reference links to a single site that is not a particularly reliable source and that often do not support the assertions in the article. Such actions can be considered spam and do not support our verification policy. Thanks -- SiobhanHansa17:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Encyclopaedias are not generally reliable sources - they're 3rd party references just like we are. And which encyclopedia is it you think you are referencing? The only details given are to a website with no provenance listed. If you are referencing a reputable encyclopaedia, you need to at least make sure you provide appropriate details on it (version, volume, page number etc., linking to a no-provenance website is not the same thing) - though the way in which the links have been added would be hard to justify if regardless of the source. -- SiobhanHansa17:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You aren't citing that encyclopedia - you're citing a website you say is a verison of that encyclopedia. The encyclopedia itself is not an appropriate source in most cases. A website you say is a copy of the encyclopedia certainly isn't. -- SiobhanHansa17:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
