User:The Duke of Waltham/Palace of Westminster workshop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Palace of Westminster workshop, the place where the Wikipedia future of this famous monument is planned. I am currently in the process of organising the workshop and creating drafts where future articles will develop. I shall soon add links to on-line sources I have found, as well as list the printed sources to which I have access.

Checklist

[edit]
  • Main target
    •  Doing... Return the main article, "Palace of Westminster", to FA status.
      •  Not done Complete, and then shorten/tighten, the "Interior" section.
      •  Not done Expand the "Exterior" section.
      •  Doing... Split the material on the Old Palace into a separate "Old Palace of Westminster" article.
      •  Not done Write the sections describing the background and construction of the building: background, competition, conception and design, and construction.

Watchlist

[edit]

I have created a watchlist to keep track of changes to the pages most closely related to the Palace of Westminster. The watchlist is fed by the links on this page, where I have also created a gallery of the images most likely to be used in one or more articles within the scope of this workshop, due to their artistic quality and/or encyclopaedic value.

Citation preferences

[edit]

As there are so many parameters, and so much margin for error and inconsistencies, it might be a good idea to keep a record of the various stylistic decisions and preferences. The page's current system has been shaped by precedence, convenience and personal preference.

Collapsed for your protection
General
  • Footnotes instead of Harvard citations.
  • Notes and footnotes separate (so that a reader can look at the former but avoid the latter, rather than have to look at all of them, or none).
  • Two-stage citations (long and short citations separate, to avoid repetition).
Distribution of citations
  • Short and long citations mixed in the footnotes.
    • News articles and web pages always listed in the footnotes (no page numbers needed).
    • Books and journals cited once listed in the footnotes (with page numbers).
    • Books and journals cited more than once listed in the bibliography (with short citations for the page numbers).
  • Multiple short citations may combine in one footnote if cited side by side (separated by semi-colons).
Appendices formatting
  • Separate sections for notes ("Notes") and citations ("References"), in this order.
  • Separate bold headings (";" syntax) for short and long citations, in this order.
    • Heading for short citations: "Footnotes".
    • Heading for long citations: "Bibliography".
  • Long citations for books and journals mixed (overall alphabetical order).
  • Section heading for books and journals not cited: "Further reading".
Templates
  • {{#tag:ref}} system for the notes (with {{reflist|group}} at the end), which allows citations within the notes and works with pop-ups.
    • Group name for notes: "note".
  • Manual short citations, for easier editing where consistency is easy to maintain.
    • Use of {{reflist|2}} for the "Footnotes" section.
  • Citation templates for the long citations, allowing for consistency and fewer mistakes.
Short citations formatting
  • Standard format: [author's last name] ([year]), p(p). [page number(s)].
    • Year in parentheses (personal preference; better separation). Examples: Grey's Inn and Inner German Border.
    • Full-stop at the end (personal preference; consistency with long citations).
  • Up to three authors from the long citation mentioned.
    • In case of two authors, their names are separated with "and" (instead of ampersand).
    • In case of three authors, their names are separated with a comma and an "and" (instead of semi-colons); there is no serial comma.
    • Where there are more than three authors, the first one is given, followed by "et al."
  • No years for works without named authors or publishers (work title is sufficient for disambiguation, unless there are works with the same title).
  • Write full page numbers in ranges (e.g. pp. 136–140) rather than abbreviated (e.g. pp. 136–40).
Long citations formatting
  • Last name before first name for authors.
  • Full first names where available (as given in the work), rather than initials in all cases.
  • Author names separated with semi-colons, with no ampersand between the last two (default).
  • No publisher given for BBC articles and well-known newspapers.
  • International date format used (as in the article).
  • 13-digit ISBNs preferred, with a single hyphen separating the first three digits from the rest.
Reference names (invisible)
  • Short citations (name always within quotation marks)
    • For articles or webpages, a simple title.
    • For book or journal citations, the principal author's name followed by the page number.
      • No year of publication and no final full-stop used; hyphen used instead of en-dash for page ranges. Commas and spaces used properly.
  • Long citations
    • The principal author's name.
Other
  • Notes ought to generally follow footnotes in text if adjacent, especially if separately cited.
