External links

Does Wikipedia have a guideline or a policy for external links at it pertains to non-English links? I do not find any mention here: Wikipedia:Embedded lists#References and External links

Yes, the WP:EL guideline has a section on Non-English language content. Sort summary is that, in general, non-English sites should only be used if its an official site that is not available in English. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Question on lists

There is an AfD on List of Fresh Mex restaurants, it is my contention that if a list contains links to articles that contain proper citations, the list items do not need to cited. The contents in the lead do need to properly cited. Am I correct in this interpretation?

List of Rachael Ray guests

I need your views on the section here Wikipedia_talk:Lists#List_of_Rachael_Ray_guests. Thanks --Anshuk (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Need some input

If anyone has time, please look in on Talk:List of converts to Judaism#RFC about the clergy list. We've got an ongoing dispute regarding whether clergy who convert from their religion are notable enough for inclusion, and RfC hasn't been pulling in many fresh eyes.

Incomplete lists

Hi all! I've been slogging through Category:Incomplete lists and I wonder whether a Category:Incomplete lists of people sub-cat would help at all. I keep running across them, and I think it might help list-sorters and -makers to create the category. I defer to your judgment on it. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 20:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

template:flatlist

Anybody know how to change the separator in {{flatlist}}? Regards—G716 <^T·_C> 00:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Main discussion was at Wikipedia talk:Accessibility#Horizontal lists. I don't have time to reread/summarize (please do!). -- Quiddity (talk) 20:06, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the link - that discussion was addressing whether | or • was a better separator for text readers for visually impaired users. No consensus. No mention of making the separator an optional parameter. —G716 <^T·_C> 22:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of all lists of businesses by geographic region

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of companies of the Bahamas. An AfD nominator proposes to delete all lists of businesses by geographic region because WP:NOTDIR. 76.66.196.229 (talk) 11:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk page template

I've created this template to be used on the talk pages of problematic list articles, especially those where editors often add subjects with no evidence of notability:

The idea is to direct editors to WP:SAL, and to provide a direct link to WP:Notability so that the editors become aware of it as soon as possible, along with an authoritative statement of what belongs in a list (based on the simplest possible summary of SAL). Obviously it won't help with new editors who don't visit talk pages, and won't stop all bad additions, but it may help to reduce them somewhat. If this meets with the approval of the project, perhaps it should be listed on this page somewhere. Ryan Paddy (talk) 19:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
