re German Pigeon Club Links Gday Mate I guess what Im trying to say by wanting them footnoted is that External links should not normally be used in the body of an article as per that style guideline Quite frankly it looks bad in an article when they are done like that In my opinion I think its better to selectadapt info from the website and link footnote to it in the reference section Otherwise just add the links to the external link section Actually that would probably be best for the German club main page link to just be added to external links No need to have two active links in that particular paragraph It does look terrible per WPMOS it suggest  looks better Id be inclined to use in German however So no ones doubting the veracity or anything like that mate  Just trying to clean things up is all So Im suggesting now we just add the first link VDTonline main page to the external links section delink the text in article and footnote the second link to a reference section or otherwise use in German at the end of the sentence rather than linking the text In my opinion that would look a whole lot better and fits the Wikipedia guidelines better
