Citations and links[edit]

When citing sources and adding external links to this article, please keep in mind that this is an article about a book, not about the coffee trade in general. Links to external websites about the coffee trade are not appropriate, nor are shotgun citations to articles that discuss the coffee trade, but do not discuss this book in general. It is possible to use unrelated citations to support statements about the book (such as statements that support or refute claims made in the book), but statements about a claim made in the book should not be cited to articles that have nothing to do with the book. For example, a statement such as:

Wild discusses the impact big businesses have on third world coffee producing countries, including El Salvador, Brazil and Vietnam, that don't get paid as much for exporting coffee.

should not be referenced by an article in The New Yorker that, while discussing coffee trade, does not mention this book at all. (I.e. this citation does not verify that this book discusses this topic.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
