I wonder why they shouldn't not be active? I would like to click a live active link, to be enlighten.

The latest article I submitted didn't pass QAP because it contained "spammy elements." I'm really struggling with what that is because the only links in my articles are the sources I used. Do they want me to not cite my sources? I'm just so confused and it's really discouraging that the...

What exactly do they mean when they say that, "again, links to well known resources like Wikipedia, news sites, will not be held to this same standard." When, or if, are we allowed to use more than two links to the same domain? Also, are they talking sub-domain or domain? Like, what is...

In the past, I've avoided placing outbound links from other sites or even hubs that are not my own. My reasons for doing so are both obvious and selfish in nature. Since the recent algorithm change I've begun to provide my users with additional "sources". In...
