So.. how many external links do we need, exactly? They outweigh the content of the article like 2-to-1. Markusbradley (talk) 02:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. This was valid earlier when there were links to dime-a-dozen free online JavaScript minifiers. I've rewritten the article to include only the most important and unique tools and programming libraries. I'll have to rewrite the "web dev" section too, replacing the external link list with a para explaining what they do and why they're useful. On a side note, Wikipedia is missing an article on Content encoding. -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 12:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how would external links do any harm as they're not SEO. From my point of view, I worked hard building a CSS minifation tool and writing a very good article on how to dinamically do it with PHP. They were removed for the reason stated above. As long as the information linked is valid, it should stay there, there's no need in removing it.
