[edit] "External links" vs "References"

From User talk:Samw:

Hi, I see you changed 'references' to 'external links' on James Pamment. The reason they're usually called 'references' on cricketers is because these give the authoritative pages where all the statistics come from. Other editors tend to flag these articles as 'unreferenced', even when they clearly are referenced, if this isn't made clear. They're more references than external links really in my opinion. Hope this clarifies things. If I'm wrong, and I probably am, then fair enough. Nick mallory 10:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

References are typically referenced in the body of the article whereas external links are not. See the cricket article itself which contains both a "references" section and an "external links" section. Samw 21:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

See also Stephen Fleming, which also has both a "references" and "external links" section Samw 01:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. As you like. Nick mallory 06:08, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
