An ==External links== or ==Further reading== or ==Bibliography== section is placed near the end of an article and offers books, articles, and links to websites related to the topic that might be of interest to the reader. The section "Further reading" may include both online material and material not available online. If all recommended material is online, the section may be titled "External links". Some editors may include both headings in articles, listing only material not available online in the "Further reading" section.

All items used to verify information in the article must be listed in the "References" or "Notes" section, and are generally not included in "Further reading" or "External links". However, if an item used as a reference covers the topic beyond the scope of the article, and has significant usefulness beyond verification of the article, you may want to include it here as well. This also makes it easier for users to identify all the major recommended resources on a topic.Tinosa (talk) 15:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

We have way too many of these on here, and there's no effective difference between any of these links. In fact, we're past the point of being a linkfarm. Unless these resources are used as references, we should not have all of them on here. Nyttend (talk) 19:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely. The proposed additions, while interesting, are not adding any deeper meaning to the content of the article. Odds are, there's a fair portion of material there that could be referenced, so I would suggest those links as a good place to start looking for useful sources. Moreover, as Nyttend indicates, pretty much all of the links are to the same website, and are therefore entirely redundant; readers can navigate other websites themselves. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 03:05, 15 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Have struck through material from the Wiki guidelines since they are no longer applicable.

It's interesting the info that was purged and that retained.

Purged: any and all material from the Idaho State Historical Reference Series.(At least eight of the 1154 articles are about Silver City)

Retained:(1) Historic Silver City Idaho (a website promoting tourism). (2) Catherine Minear Moore (Morre's brothers had a quartz mill at Silver). (3) Idaho State Historical Society Digital Collections pertaining to the Owyhee mining district. ( the collection contains the infobox photo and photos of the written sccount of a mining dispute referred to as The Owyhee War -1868).Tinosa (talk) 18:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
