 | | Usually I expect the links to other entries to have been referenced somewhere within the entry itself - that way you can usually appreciate the relevance of the reference.
With this entry the links to entries on propositional logic, completeness, consistency and the liar's paradox, while clearly to do with 'logic', have nothing to do with this entry, and unsurprisingly have no 'reference' in the body of the entry.
I like the entry though  and also liked the bus stop pontoon entry.

 | | I suppose the point I was trying to make is that if there is to be a link to another entry then the author/editor should indicate in the entry why someone might want to try that link.
Maybe I'm being picky in this case, as the other links have titles that might by themselves be interesting to researchers reading this entry.
Nevertheless sometimes the title is less helpful, and if an entry is important/relevant enough to link to, it should be important enough to mention/justify in the entry.
