Talk:11 Squadron (Belgium)

Bare URL

This article got tagged for referencing to bare URL's. I do not believe this is true. The endnotes only mention 2 url's as a refernce, the other endnotes all relate to one of the 4 paper books I've identified in the References section, plus 2 newspaper quotes. This way of referencing was recommended by an experienced wikipedian User:Georgejdorner while I was writing 9 Squadron (Belgian Air Force).

Endnote #1 is why the article was tagged for bare URLs: http://www.theaerodrome.com/services/belgium/11me.php This ought to have been presented in a tidier manner, so as to inform readers of the title of that webpage, its origins (e.g. publisher, organization) and what specifically it discusses regarding the topic of this article. If the URL is left bare, as it is right now, and if the webpage is one day moved to a different URL without the link being updated, readers will not be able to view that webpage anymore, and without a tidier description of it, they will probably not know what to look for when trying to find the webpage. See Template:Cite web for an easy method of presenting a cited webpage. Incidentally, this also needs to be done with the webpages you've referenced in the 9 Squadron article.

OK, thanks. Is it better now ? If so, I will amend the other article as well.

Wikilink

In the section "The squadron's origins", the following wikilink was included : 11ème Escadrille de Chasse. This redirects to this article (11 Squadron). Does this make sense ?
