Talk:Annie Nicolette Zadoks-Josephus Jitta

"Violent death"
Could you explain? Was he a victim of the Nazis, or did something else befall him? Yoninah (talk) 19:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Selected works section
Hi, I tagged the section because it lacks inline citations. There is no way of readers knowing the information is verifiable, unless there is an inline citation to back it up. Or at least that's my understanding of things. Any thoughts? Thanks! MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:45, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I have never encountered the idea that lists of works need inline citations – what would you cite, exactly? Readers can verify that these works exist and were written by Zadoks Josephus Jitta by consulting the works themselves, and sufficient bibliographic information to do that is already given, without the need for a footnote. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 14:51, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I did something like this for an article I wrote a long time ago. Yesterday's FA had a similiar section that looked like this. That is what I mean by inline citation – that readers can just click from Wikipedia to verify, instead of having to go elsewhere online to start their search. Not sure if it is possible in this article, as the works are somewhat old and may not be readily available online. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:07, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That seems to me to be simply a point of style: you moved the full citation to a footnote, this article has all the bibliographic information inline. Personally I don't see any reason to put it in a footnote, and I think the latter is the more common way of formatting bibliographies in biographies of academics. But regardless, footnotes or no footnotes – it doesn't change whether something is WP:Verifiable. I do think you would struggle to find online versions of most of these works. And again, using online or offline sources doesn't change whether something is verifiable; see WP:OFFLINE. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:16, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The authority control is a simple way of verifying works for an academic like this. As wikidata doesn't seem to have an entry for the subject yet, I have added VIAF and other authority entries. Andrew D. (talk) 17:11, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
