I think the point that Charlotte is trying to

is going to throw out some pieces of the baby along with the bathwater.
Actually my point is... if you thoroughly inspect an article... and
you conclude that one external link is getting more traffic than it
deserves... and if that was the most serious concern that you could
find... the page is probably ready to be nominated for Featured
Article status.
Well, they're both good points anyway. :)
