Citation Style
This article was difficult to edit because of the citations that are included within the article itself. If there is a way to include the information at the end of the article in the future, I hope it can be done. When an article has for, virtually, every referenced work a long list of title, author (with first and last name as different lines) and quotations from the article being referenced, it makes it difficult for others to come along and edit the page to simply move a comma's placement. Hopefully, the edits I've made caught all of the punctuation errors. (talk to)SailorAlphaCentauri 16:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am sorry if it seemed confusing, but please note that for all of the citations I used the standard Wikipedia:Citation templates formatting. Smee 16:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
- I don't have a problem with what you did, I have a problem with the standard. If there was a way to enter the citation information at the bottom and just footnote it at the top, it would make editing a little easier. Their template is overly complicated for an in-text citation. Besides, it's better to have too much information than not enough. (talk to)SailorAlphaCentauri 16:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good points, perhaps you should bring them up at the talk page for Wikipedia:Citation templates Smee 18:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
- Maybe I will (once I have time). I really learned a lot from reading this article, as it had a great start. talk to)SailorAlphaCentauri 15:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
