When you changed my listing under Creative Origins you used "Gygax suggested" which implies he was guessing as to the origin of Xagy.

Bibliography vs. External Link Question
When citing works of an author what is the tipping point between a bibliographic source and and external link?
It was my impression that if you are citing a source of information it should go in the Bibliography and if you are just providing a link to related material it should go in an External Link section.
I will bow to whatever standards are accepted in this wiki but to maintain consistency I need to know when a citation is a citation and when it is a link.
Thank you,

Suggesting vs. Stating & Canon
Rip,
When you changed my listing under Creative Origins you used "Gygax suggested" which implies he was guessing as to the origin of Xagy. This was not my impression of his answers in response to Grodog's questions. As Gygax was the original author on Xagy and nothing in his reply stated that he was speculating, it should be listed as "stated" not "suggested."
Also, is canon only officially published material by TSR, WotC, and Paizo? If Gary Gygax speaks about his creation is that not also canon?
Thank you,
