To play devil's advocate, aren't we trying to be informative? Should we be keeping genuine sources of information away from our readers? If the topic is "Juggling in Copenhagen", then wouldn't a forum for jugglers in Copenhagen be a really appropriate link?

The mission is not the plain vanilla 'be informative'.

Interesting comment from one of my non-Wikipedian friends. His colleagues at work tend to access official health statistics through WP external links; because it's quicker generally to do that, than to access the official site, in terms of getting to the relevant page out of many. That's quite a plaudit.
