This is a good start to this page. However, as it is about archaeology, I would like to change the sourcing to sfn in line with Harvard referencing. This will also make it easier to edit the page text as it won't be cluttered with citation templates. Any objections? Sirfurboyđ (talk) 11:18, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I don't want to force an unwanted style, but I do think there are good reasons to use sfn or harv on an archaeology page, and that is because Harvard referencing is very widely expected and used in the field, and because the subject here is more academic then, say, biographies or pages about towns etc. Shorter footnotes also keep page source much clearer and massively cut down on duplicate citations. They place all the sources in a proper bibliography. Against it is that it creates a shortened reference list that then links to a bibliography, that some people dislike.
