message: The DMOZ search template, and by implication all DMOZ search links, is being considered for deletion because it violates WP:ELNO #9. Anyone interested in discussing the fate of Open Directory Project (DMOZ) search links is invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Dmoz2.

thread_title:  Open Directory Project Links 

message: ENAT - the European Network for Accessible Tourism is, as stated above, a major Europe-wide non-profit association comprising public and private organisations aimed at making tourism and transport accessible to all. Wikipedia is obviously not a directory, but whatever other external links may or may not be considered suitable for including under the article's External links, surely ENAT belongs to this section. Please do not remove the link again. Thank you. --Technopat (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed, per WP:EL. There is a DMOZ link where any and all links can be added. More importantly, ENAT is already linked through its use as a reference. (I've fixed this up, as it was not properly linked prior to this.) --Ckatzchatspy 18:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Greetings Ckatz - Thank you for fixing that weird inline citation - was going to get round to it after dinner. I don't think that the fact that ENAT is used as an inline citation is a reason for excluding it as an External link. What is more, a direct link to ENAT is fully justified by any interpretation of Wikipedia:EL#What_to_link as it is the first pan-European organisation - supported by the European Commission - to address accessible tourism issues, and is therefore a major reference. For that reason, I don't agree that DMOZ is appropriate in the case of ENAT - it is fine for private organisations wishing to belong to a directory. The distinction is clear. Please reconsider your objections. Thank you. --Technopat (talk) 19:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your note. ENAT might well be useful as an external link, but it is already linked as a reference. Normally, external links are used when a site is not already used as a reference in the body of the article. The goal is to reduce ELs by either finding ways to use them as a source, or by removing them. --Ckatzchatspy 19:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for prompt reply. Fully agree with the principle of reducing number of ELs, but in the case in point, the only EL is DMOZ (which has been nominated for deletion)... Regards, --Technopat (talk) 19:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if there were no ELs, ENAT would not be used as an external link, again because it is already linked as a reference. The EL section is for material that isn't linked elsewhere in the article. --Ckatzchatspy 19:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems reasonable enough. Thanks for clarifying. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 20:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
