The trick is to trim and not let it get too large, but to keep it organised. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Holden The former is still a work in progress, but the EL section sub-sectioning was prompted by advice I gave to the editor there. One of the problems is that ELs that can be used as sources are rightly folded into the article, just as most see also links are folded into the article, but the difference is that ELs that are pointing to different media are fine to remain, as are ELs that are serving as further reading. The issue of whether sources can also be further reading is more contentious, but I maintain that this is possible, as readers should be guided as to which of the sources in use are useful as further reading, and shouldn't have to sort through the sources themselves to identify those useful for further reading.
