Find a grave

[edit]

Hi Nikkimaria,

I saw that you removed Find a grave as an external link, with the reasoning being that it's not a reliable source. I am not using it as a source. I have been finding Find a grave link on Wikidata, so I thought it was ok to have as an external link.

As an FYI, I always remove references that use Find a grave.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carole, thanks for clarifying that it was not intended as a source. I don't think it should be included as an external link in this case either though - as per its entry at WP:ELPEREN it's rarely appropriate. (Keep in mind that Wikidata has different policies and community practices, so what happens there may not equate to what is done here). Nikkimaria (talk) 22:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for your response. It is absolutely not needed, except if someone wanted to see who their nearest relatives are - which is super helpful as there were so many Philips, Peters, Johannes, and Margaritas in the Schuyler family. I see Find a grave in lots of articles about historic people and I thought that the addition of the info in wikidata meant it was ok, but I do get your point.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
