I just encountered, on the article [[House (TV series)]], that citation #3 is actually just a link to [[Words and Deeds (House)]]. Can a article really cite another article or should that citation be removed? Seems a little squirrely to me.
Normally it would be, but in this case it's more a case of references gone wild - it's citing a fact that is transparent in the episodes. It seems to be referencing it to a specific episode, and in doing so linking to our article on the episode. But the claim in question - a claim about a fictional character's job position - is wholly uncontroversial, and probably shouldn't be sourced at all, but rather left to the implicit use of a primary source.
