Style questions

[Refers to User talk:MichelleInSanMarcos#How do Sources work?]

Thanks for attempting to answer my question. I now understand that style should be consistent throughout the wikipedia article. I should have been more specific about the wikipedia article. Perhaps this is an unresolved issue. The citations as written within the article are not adequate to find the information. The reader has to go to another part of the wikipedia article (Sources) to piece together a complete citation. This is not a completely novel approach to citation style: APA and MLA both use incomplete references after the first complete reference.

Well, the Astor article has been like that for quite a long time. If you would like to propose a reordering, or even a complete revamping of the citation style, all it takes is a successful discussion on the talk page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:08, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Oh. OK. I didn't realize how fluid the citation style is and the best place to address a concern (i.e., the talk page for the article.) MichelleInSanMarcos (talk) 02:44, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the request on Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios

Also, I would like to know how long it will take for the new page to be up so that we can make a reference to the existing page. The new page has been submitted for creation about 2 weeks ago and there's no update towards it. Hence, new page will have more updated contents from the existing page and it will be a reference towards the existing page. Jon Liaw (talk) 02:04, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Jon Liaw, it would help if you made it clear what you wanted to happen. By requesting a move, you imply that the subject has simply had its name changed. There should be no new draft, since a draft about an existing subject would normally be rejected out of hand. If you have new content that you want to be considered for addition to the existing article, you can make an edit request on the talk page at Talk:Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios (since, if I recall correctly, you have a ((thus far undeclared)) COI). — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:34, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

So I should do a Request Edit instead of a Request Move? If so, which template should I use for that? Jon Liaw (talk) 03:46, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Jon Liaw, No, discussion on the requested move is already in progress. That was one step needed to implement your desired changes, but the other step is to modify the contents of the article (as opposed to its title) to reflect the changes represented by this renaming. The termination of the agreement with Pinewood is likely to mean some changes in the operation of the studio. You can use {{Edit request}} or {{Request edit}} while waiting for the conclusion of the move discussion. You still need to provide appropriate sources for the new content, it can't just be changed on your own authority.

And remember to make the required disclosure about your connection with the studio. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

I've made a change previously whereby stating that the studios is no longer affiliated with Pinewood. Also, there are no changes to the operation of the studio. The Pinewood brand is merely a name and for Pinewood to market our studio to the world. Information that needed to be added in would be done after the name of the title is changed.
