Deactivated Links

He did. They're arguing that when this was discussed before, it was agreed he wouldn't continue to do that.

Ah right. Yes, the below stands. Tets, please don't delete links based on personal preference.

My preference for news articles is and always has been to quote the first paragraph or so of the article and link it so it can be read in more detail, mostly because if you just link the headline people just won't read the damned things; Reddit is rife with this. But I don't think we should be removing sources altogether, when another site rule is that people should source their statements.

sorry, I forgot what the agreement was. Since the original discussion, I don't think I've seen and links to that paper, so it hasn't been an issue.
