Does SL link too much to the outside, even where it isn't necessary?
When looking at classical problems, often there is a link to the goproblems page of the same problem... While I believe links are necessary, when SL actually took sth. from elsewhere (there likely are some original goproblems problems here) or there is valuable additional information to be found elsewhere. But when it is just the same elsewhere, I wouldn't link.
Your point seems reasonable in the cases you're talking about. I try to reference all historical/personal information that I can because there's so much unreliable material that I think it's the easiest way to demonstrate reliability. --Hyperpape
