Wikipedia linking

Considering that there are articles irrelevant to OrthodoxWiki (e.g. historical events), but that these can be relevant for the reader to get a background on an issue, should we consider linking such things to articles in Wikipedia? An example of this would be, within the ROCOR and OCA article, linking to an article on the 1918 Revolution. Should this happen? — sτévο, at 23:53, May 30, 2006 (CDT)
