Linking to wikipedia?
As a new user, I upgraded the perl book to link to all first-occurrences of foreign comp-science words to wikipedia ( ie. foo .) Today I find someone of high stature has reverted all of those links. Please advise on when a wikibook should consult with a wikipedia entry and when it shouldn't. I feel discouraged, a lot of time has been needlessly wasted. EvanCarroll 19:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

wording nitpick
This is super minor, but while browsing the page, the wording about the GIF patent question leapt out at me. Instead of saying ""Consult an attorney for more legal advice,"" it would probably be better to delete the word "more." It seems like, to me at least, including the word "more" suggests that the answer is in fact trying to give legal advice, which we probably shouldn't be giving the impression of.

Broken link
In the section Help:FAQ/Contributing the link to spellonline.com seems to be broken. Does anyone know the right address?
