Wiki policy
The Conservapedia Style Guide has a policy (If it does not have this policy, I will create it after I do this edit) of one link to a particular article at Wikipedia within a given article.
For example, a gun related article can only have one link to Conservapedia's gun control article.
Why is this policy important?
Failure to follow this policy creates difficult to read link rich articles which are unappealing to the eye. And once your article is unappealing to the eye, people will quickly click off it. So a link rich article is self-defeating in terms of getting people to dig more deeply into a subject at a wiki. Furthermore, it will cause people to leave the website sooner rather than later.
In addition, most people judge a book by its cover. An unappealing looking article is assumed to be an inferior article by most people.
I removed about a dozen duplicate internal links from this article: Ammunition control. It looks better now, but it still needs much improvement as far as being too link rich. Please remove the duplicate links. For example, each state mentioned in the article (New Tork, California, etc.), should only have one link to its respective article.
