Talk:Allan Walters

revert of extra text in |page= parameter
Editor Ian Rose reverted my with the edit summary Rv good faith edit -- wanted the "p." to display, it doesn't add redundant text with this template. I had changed p. 6 to 6 and p. 3 to 3.

is 'optimized' for academic journals where volume, issue, and page(s) are all grouped together without the 'p.' and 'pp.' prefixes. Here is one of the templates in question:

There are a couple of flaws in the way these citations were written but first, look at the '4' preceding 'p. 6' of the rendered citation. The colon following the 4 is the extra text to which my edit summary referred. Yeah, I know, hardly noticeable, but the extra 'p. ' is redundant to the colon and contaminates the citation's metadata.

Volume and issue number are not part of a journal's title so moving them to their own parameters provides clean metadata and groups them with the page number(s). Correctly written, journal citations look like this:

 * Hi, I agree as far as volume and issue go, and will remove them from the title; they are not in fact necessary to identify the issue as there was only one issue per month at this time in the publication's history. As far as page number goes, I think it is far easier for the average reader (and I include myself -- I'm a WP user as well as editor!) to understand numbers in citations when they are consistently prefaced by something identifying just what they mean, as we would in a newspaper citation for instance.

 * Then you should use :

 * Works for me (anything for a quiet life)...! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:29, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
