Why are capital letters used in this term? Is it because someone thought Wikipedia article titles should be capitalized (the opposite of what is conventional here) or because in the computer field it's obligatory to spell all words with capital initial letters?

Nobody answered the above, so I've changed them to lower-case and moved the article accordingly, and fixed the links. Michael Hardy 23:20, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DRG and USGS

Is DRG restricted to USGS use, as described in this article, or has it a wider meaning. I think that many GIS raster formats may be grouped under this generic name, and therefore the USGS DRG files are only a sample of these kind of files. Can anyone help to find a more precise definition?--Auró (talk) 17:54, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, was expanded to 19 entries, organized into several subsections. Three seems to be an acceptable number, and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a fourth. Consensus needs to determine this. A tag indicates concerns.

However, none is needed for article promotion.

Some links may be included in WP:ELNO, or What Wikipedia is not (policy) such as WP:NOTREPOSITORY or WP:NOTGUIDE.

WP:ELDEAD may apply.
In some cases ELCITE applies: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section. Others, listed below:
ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.

The External links guideline This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

- Please also note:
WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. Please do not add back more links without consensus. Simple solution to facilitate career maintenance tag. Move links here for discussion.
