Yes, direct links without registration would be nice, but I wonder about the idea of encyclopedia articles linking to newspaper reports in general.
I have a twist on that notion.
Since when does an encyclopedia have to quote sources of its information? Isn't the point of an encyclopedia to be authoritative, a resource which is quoted by others?
I don't mind a link. I don't mind external resources. To me they fall under the "see also" heading.
As far as articles in development, yes, sources should be quotes to allow fellow editors to check and recheck and so on, but once the article is formalized, all that should just go to the talk page.
Makes sense?
