External links[edit]

@Johnragla: I see what the issue is. You have introduced inline references in the external links section. Those references don't go there; external links are supposed to have external links and descriptive text only. If you feel that need that something needs to be referenced, then you should move that content to the body of the article. If you need a hand or further advice, please reply here and I'll try and help out. Schwede 66 21:21, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: The footnotes in external links add information about the photos in the links, which is not available on the links. The links are outside copyright, so could be used in the article with the footnotes added, but there is rather less reason to add those photos to the article than some of the others in external links. Why do external links always have to go after references? Would the article be better with all the external links shown as images?

These are the problem footnotes - Lynnwood Homestead (replacing nearby Halfway House[9], which burnt down in 1906[62]) Ernest C Moon, postmaster, Te Uku (publicised for writing with his feet)[63] Johnragla (talk) 07:18, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External links go after references because the Manual of Style says so; see WP:ELCITE. The article on external links also gives this rather good piece of advice: "If the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it." Yes, I suggest you upload the photos and include them within the article. Schwede 66 18:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
