(Riley.) citation

Quote the article, bold markup added:

(Riley.) Grant "Home Run" Johnson, Personal profiles at Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. – identical to Riley (confirmed 2010-04-13)

The annotations mean that I compared this online source with the entry for Johnson in Riley's print encyclopedia (which is the preceding listed source); I found them identical and so made Riley the parenthetical author.

As of 2012-05-22 the cited webpage gives Riley's encyclopedia as "Source:" but neither cites the Johnson entry nor acknowledges quotation. In fact the online article is a reprint of the Johnson entry with only minor changes in the opening italic and bold display of data.

(There are 26 such "identical to Riley" citations at en:Wikipedia. In retrospect I would fully cite each as a reprint, with a hidden comment that I compared it with the print source.) --P64 (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
