Re: External link
Re your message: I removed all of the links to the website because it appears that you were trying to drive traffic to the website that is a news aggregator. Per Misplaced Pages's external link guidelines, linking to aggregators normally to be avoided and instead a direct link to the source is preferred. Thus your direct link to CNN is fine. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:31, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
