may i make a recommendation?
always use raw links prefaced if necessary by text containing the title of the article.
the link restrictions apply to raw links, but if the raw links are not visible (that is, if href links are used instead of raw links), then it is more difficult to scan and detect policy violations. using raw links could help self-policing and reduce admin overhead.
as for photos, minimize those to a short well known and well recognized list of common sources, since the links for those cannot easily be scanned and policy violations detected.
i know it is fun and neat to use href links and show off one’s html knowledge, but in this particular case, keeping it simple might be the lesser evil.
disclaimer: i might be missing something. just a thought.
