As an aside, what's the consensus on internal links in references? If we have an article on the author, should we link it?
Yes.
How about one on the source itself?
Yes. If it's a news article you want to link to the title of the newspaper/magazine/etc., as we probably will not have an article about the article.

Fortunately I noticed [[Andrew Gray]] is a disambiguation page. For a book you would want to link to the title. The actual text is less likely to be online, and even if it is we would rather link to it from our article about the book.
