I would tend to agree with linking to the Wikipedia
article on Esperanto, and on any other IALs you
mention.   UEA is an important organization in
the Esperanto movement (though arguably less
so than in the past) but its website isn't necessarily
the best place for someone just learning about
the language for the first time.

Generally, the press resources page looks good,
though I would prefer to title the 'Wikipedia' link
as 'Wikipedia article "Constructed language"'.
