YouTube Links
You are correct. Normally YouTube links should be avoided. For example, you should never use YouTube in a citation. However, note this: WP:ELNO says you should not link to social networking sites or user-submitted content sites "except for a link to an official page of the article's subject" and as long as this link follows the rules set forth in WP:EL. Furthermore, one probably should not add a link to a page unless it adds something of value. I looked at McCurdy's YouTube page, and it did have a lot of content on it that might be useful for someone interested in the topic. Therefore, I think in this case, a link to her YouTube channel would be appropriate. For a quick summary of YouTube links, take a look at WP:YOUTUBE. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 20:52, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- MySpace links follow the same guidelines. First, MySpace should normally not be allowed to be linked as a citation. It may, however, be linked ONLY if you are linking to the artist's official profile AND if there is enough relevant content on the page for it to be useful to someone interested on the topic.
I have not looked at McCurdy's myspace, but if you feel it is relevant to the topic, then feel free to add it in (subject, of course, to the approval of other users).青い(Aoi) (talk) 20:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- Never mind, I see you've already readded it. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 20:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- You are free to use your own discretion, but the link looks fine to me. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 21:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see why it hurts to include this information. By the way, you are still not using edit summaries. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 21:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
