[edit] Deletion of links
Can you give your reasons for deleting the links to slashdoc.com in several Shakespeare-related articles? Sciurinæ 17:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Slashdoc.com is not a reputable website but was reported to contain "scholarly essays." I came upon this website when doing research on Brave New World and was appalled at the quality of the "essays" contained on the site. The website allows anyone to post anything that they want, with very few, if any, cited references, and there is nothing scholarly about it. It was formally known at A+ Essays and seems to be a site that people would use to plagiarize school reports or papers. I plan to take down the rest of the links when I have the time. Although there may be some quality information contained on the website, this is mixed in with too much misinformation and conjecture by amateurs without citing to be linked with a Wikipedia article. This site can be very misleading to those who do not know much about the work in question.
