I think there should be a template for linking words in article body to external URLs instead of to other Wikipedia articles. I run into this frequently with new editors, and it is a violation of [[WP:ELPOINTS]], which says that "External links should not normally be used in the body of an article. Instead, include appropriate external links in an "External links" section at the end of the article, and in the appropriate ___location within an infobox, if applicable."

== Uw-canvass: biased users ==
{{tl|uw-canvass}} reads: "It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on '''biased users'''' talk pages [...]". I would say it is not the contacted ''users'' that are biased, they are likely to simply have an opinion which is perfectly legitimate; but that it is the chosen ''set of users'' that is biased. In other words, the choice is biased (the contacting editor), not the users (the contacted editors). I changed it accordingly, but please improve, if possible. - [[User:Nabla|Nabla]] ([[User talk:Nabla|talk]]) 09:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
