I probably managed to remove a few good link as well, but it was clear that there had been almost *zero* edit oral oversight of these links. When we allow articles to have large lists of links without solid editorial oversight, we are no more useful than google... and worse: we are more subject to manipulation than the authors of the links.
It is my belief that almost every page with more than 10-20 externals is in the same position of low to no oversight on the externals, and many with more than 5 externals.
A list of pages which I suspect of having low edit-oral-ness (whatever that is) of their external links is now available.

The page doubles as a browser stress test. Enjoy.
