I had in mind the kind of format that in effect says "really, I think you are too dumb to use Google" rather than someone pointing out an actual useful resource or a place for further reading. If the reference took some non-trivial research to find, it is of course welcome and useful. The too-obvious Wikipedia link is an attempt to imitate references of the useful variety with the intent of appearing sophisticated.
