[WikiEN-l] Turn off article creation AND deletion.

Sat Dec 10 20:08:21 UTC 2005

David,

I think that the idea is worth pursuing with one minor suggestion that
external links be changed to external references.

Links should be added only if the site has been used as a source in
preparing the articles or if they provide a valuable resource for the reader
to find out more about the topic.

Regards

Keith Old
