Not a good idea. What would happen to
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Register> or
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Orlowski>? They both use references
to The Register entirely validly.

In general, one should avoid drawing hard-edged lines where
situation-by-situation judgments are just fine. The looniest, kookiest,
most unreliable site in the universe can still be an important and
useful reference when talking about that site.
