Do not point to wikipedia.
If we must point to external links we want to point to a specification in the most "official" place that exists .. one maintained by the owner of that spec.
Strictly that even becomes a part of the SE spec. Wikipedia is not a place
we'd ever want to say Java SE relies on for its spec ..

Hi Jay,

That works for me but there is no precedent for pointing to Wikipedia from JDK Java or HTML files. I wonder whether there are any guidelines on which external sites may be linked?

There is also this one [1] which in turn points to Wikipedia and some other references.

Thanks,

Brian

Yes we can point to Wikipedia link. It will serve the purpose of giving basic information related to particular file format.
