Hello! What did you do here?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Carroll_(journalist)&curid=13010813&diff=464314778&oldid=437782295. Sorry, I don't understand what you did. Thanks for helping! GeorgeLouis (talk) 08:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I tidied up the reference list, as it contained some of the in-text reference numbers as well as the references. I moved the <ref name> tags to the text so that the reference numbers wouldn't appear in the References. I forgot to remove the {{citation style}} maintenance template - will do that now. Hope that explains my edit 564dude (talk) 04:19, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re: Uncited Svetlana Chervonnaya reference commented out) Could you enlighten me as to what happened here? DEddy (talk) 01:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to a page on documentstalk.com by Svetlana Chervonnaya was in the reference list, but wasn't cited in the article. Discussion on the talk page suggested that it wasn't a reliable source, so rather than adding it back into the article I marked it as a comment. This way it's still part of the page but doesn't show up as a broken reference (I was working through the "Pages with incorrect ref formatting" category and this article was listed there). If you think it should be deleted instead, I don't mind if you do that. 564dude (talk) 02:31, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer that it be included as a reference. I find it rather odd that a website with relevant information on this contentious topic is excluded since it's a website. By that sort of "reasoning" Wikipedia should be excluded. DEddy (talk) 20:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removing full citations

Why are you removing the full citations such as in this edit [1]? We typically leave them filled in. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:51, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally if you could revert all these shortenings that would be appreciated. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:55, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no preference about the citation style, but if someone uses a full citation, I do agree that it is best to leave it like that. Also - you certainly got active on Wikipedia suddenly. Thanks for your contributions; we always like librarians around. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:27, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Australia Zoo

Hi 'Dude'. This was a good edit here. But if you had looked back in the edit history then you would have seen the (unexplained) deletion of sourced content that caused the citation errors you fixed, here. These sort of errors are frequently caused when 'list based' references are used and the editor deleting content doesn't bother to preview/or check for such errors.
• I have restored the content (and sources) here, and intend to copy edit the page a bit so it fits in. 220 of ^Borg 01:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PMC format fix no longer necessary

Hi, regarding this edit, the citation templates were updated earlier this year to allow formats of |pmc=PMC123 or |pmc=123, so such edits are no longer necessary. Thanks Rjwilmsi 16:17, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As a Citation Monitor

564Due--How does one cite a chapter in an edited book, while identifying the editors---aside from my improvised method showing here?:

Messerschmidt, Manfred (2000). "Forward Defense: The "Memorandum of the Generals" for the Nuremberg Court". In Hannes Heer; Klaus Naumann, eds. (eds.). War of Extermination: The German Military in World War II. New York: Berghahn Books. ISBN 978-1-57181-232-2. {{cite book}}: |editor2= has generic name (help); Invalid |ref=harv (help)

The reason you see eds. at the end of Klaus Naumann is so that people do not confuse them as the authors of the book, when they were its editors. Despite writing their own chapters in this example volume, most of the chapters are written by someone else. Show me how to do it so that they are reflected as editors. BTW -- what you did to the Bandenbekämpfung page does NOT solve this dilemma, so it was reverted. Also, you should note that in no way does this interfere with the citation's tag so that it directs to it when clicked.--Obenritter (talk) 19:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Open access signalling

Hi!

Thanks for adding references to articles, as in this edit and flagging them as open access. Did you know that the citation templates have parameters such as |doi-access=free to flag which source the article is open access from? This helps readers who are not familiar with bibliographic identifiers find a free copy easily. Soon this will also auto-generate a |url= to link the title of the work itself.

Keep up the good work! − Pintoch (talk) 20:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
