[WikiToLearn] Guidelines about linking external materlial

[Dario Mapelli]

I always appreciated the bibliography of the textbook i studied,i think
that having more sources is always better. I can decide whether to use them
or not, but in case of need is extremely handy to have an idea where to
start looking for more information!

Hence, i would suggest to link stable resources, like open courses, and to
add a nice and as exhaustive as possible bibliography.
Of course i would avoid linking pdfs in a professors's personal page, since
there is a high possibility of having a ton of broken links after a couple
of years.

> a video hosted on YouTube that could help in learnig a subject expressed

> 2) avoid external documents such as pdf and try to develop "home made"
> material as much as possible;
> 3) these are always guidelines and the final decision belong to human
> judgement.
