Unused "general references"[edit]

Atlantic306 is edit-warring to retain three external links in the "References" section of this article. He or she claims that these are "general references showing the college exists and has been reported in reliable sources." The documents use reference templates but they're not references for any information in this article; they're just external links. Our guidelines on external links provides excellent guidance on this issue: "If the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it."

Youre edit warring you made a bold edit by removing all references which I reverted then you reverted again which is edit warring which I reverted. General references mean references without citations, and they prove the existence of the college and are not external links. Removing references in this way is disruptive. If you disagree start an RFC Atlantic306 (talk) 18:11, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Salem News Headlines press release is the same one that's at Get News, per the archived copy. I've removed it as redundant. —C.Fred (talk) 18:36, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The same press release also ran in the Trenton Chronicle. —C.Fred (talk) 18:39, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Have removed it, I still think were better with the one ref than none at all as now it is cited inline Atlantic306 (talk) 18:42, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
