 ==References== 
 I noticed that most of the ""External Links"" were really References.  Each reference was a link, rather than a full reference.  The problem is that many newspapers and online news sources put articles behind pay-to-view firewalls and archive them after just a few weeks.  Readers who access this Wikipedia article months or years in the future won't be able to view these articles.  So it's more appropriate to put the entire citation (including author, title, publication and date), than a link.  That way, when good links go bad (couldn't help the pun, sorry!), readers still can access the source. -  "
