Do not point to wikipedia.<br>
If we must point to external links we want to point to a
specification in the<br>
most "official" place that exists .. one maintained by the owner of
that spec.<br>
Strictly that even becomes a part of the SE spec. Wikipedia is not a
place<br>
we'd ever want to say Java SE relies on for its spec ..<br>

Hi Jay,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That works for me but there is no precedent for pointing to
Wikipedia from JDK Java or HTML files. I wonder whether there
are any guidelines on which external sites may be linked?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is also this one [1] which in turn points to Wikipedia
and some other references.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
