"Sources"[edit]

Thank you for noticing the poorly referencing; is it okay now? If nobody protests I'll take away the template.--Ziko (talk) 10:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To me too, it seems adequately sourced. (By the way, the template says "June 2011", but I don't see a recent objection to the article: is the date automatically updated?) In any case, I think the template can be removed. Giridhar (talk) 13:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ISBNs[edit]

The list of works has a couple of notices that read
"This 1595692142 lacks ISBNs for the books listed in it. Please make it easier to conduct research by listing ISBNs. If the {{Cite book}} or {{citation}} templates are in use, you may add ISBNs automatically, or discuss this issue on the talk page." and
"This 978-1595692146 lacks ISBNs for the books listed in it. Please make it easier to conduct research by listing ISBNs. If the {{Cite book}} or {{citation}} templates are in use, you may add ISBNs automatically, or discuss this issue on the talk page."
What a ridiculous wording. 1595692142 and 978-15959692146 are ISBNs, namely, the 10- and 13-digit ISBNs, respectively, of Dasgupta's most recent book, Loĝi en homaj lingvoj: la substancisma perspektivo. I guess putting ISBNs in double French brackets is not the way to go. But the ISBNs are (at least for that book) not lacking. --Haruo (talk) 03:49, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
