Don't. While I agree that this isn't optimal, (wait for it...) there is to deadline. Better to just try and find a reliable source in this case, and hope that in most cases it's being done this way. Better also to try and educate people to (from WP:WAWI) "*use external link style so the link will make sense in any context*." And I agree with Bainer that trying to write a database query here wouldn't work...the false positives produced would really piss of people, when the problem isn't that widespread, or that major, as we might think...

If this is the policy I would be happy to come up with a database query that deletes all such references.
