Additions to "External links" sections
Please read the
In addition, external links should be listed in order of importance. So, in the Sam Wyly article, for example, an external link to a personal website is much more important than an external link to an interview; the interview link should not come first.
Finally, keep in mind that (a) a source used for a citation (footnote) shouldn't (normally) also be in the external links section, and (b) a source that isn't important enough to go into the external links section, and isn't already used as a citation, can still be added to the article, in a "Further reading" section (see
