July 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Anna Baltzer because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.

Help me![edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I edited a page, Quilt art, by adding 2 alternate naming conventions, mixed media art quilts and fiber art quilts. The sources I provided for these naming conventions point to book titles found on Amazon.

A general search looking for a source referring to this type of quilting by this name, only yielded sites of artists/bloggers/etc who referred to their own work as such. If I understand verifiable sources, these don't apply. What I don't seem to be able to determine is whether the sources I provided are acceptable under WP policy.

One of my concerns, beyond being a valid source, is that the link could go away, since it's a link to a store.

You don't need to link the books on Amazon. Just cite the books themselves (if they indeed refer to the art by those names inside). Book citation doesn't need to be linked. See WP:CITE#Books. —Hexafluoride ^{Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk} 09:21, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
