That is why I despise the war on external links and further reading some editors seem to think is appropriate.
I don't think I've seen much evidence of a "war on external links" ... what there is is, however, is pressure against an unfiltered flood of external links.
Some editors, though, do have a thing against external links. An example from my recent experience: edit-warring with an editor about linking <5 reviews and official sites on _[[Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise]]_. They apparently interpreted WP:EL as meaning that *if* a link could be used elsewhere in the article (such as a reception section), it *must* be so used or be removed.
