Talk:Disinformation (book)

June 2017 copyedit
Not a lot of surprises from my earlier copyedit of Disinformation. A couple notes: If you have any questions or comments, please post them here. I don't mind changing things back. – Reidgreg (talk) 01:42, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on its content, consider renaming the section Background to Authors. Your call.
 * I changed the caption of the picture of Pacepa, since it was taken in 1975, before his defection.
 * I rephrased the sentence "Disinformation was included [...] Studies in Intelligence". Hopefully I've got the meaning correct.  I also linked to a short article on that journal.
 * Just after that I shortened the date ranges 2013–2014 → 2013–14 and 2015–2016 → 2015–16. It's alright to use two digits for the second year when describing a regular period of a year or less extending over consecutive calendar years, such as a fiscal year, a sports or television season, or an academic year.  But otherwise all digits should be used (per MOS:DATERANGE).
 * The biggest change I made, at least in terms of appearance, are the blockquotes with the reviews. I was going by the 40-word recommendation of MOS:BQ.  I'm not particularly happy with the way it looks.  The Woolsey quote is quite long and should probably stay as a blockquote.  With the others, it might be better to shorten the quote a bit to what's most relevant and then incorporate them back into the paragraphs.  Alternatively, some information from the second-last paragraph could be moved up to space-out the blockquotes more evenly.
 * If you want to shorten a quote, just use [...] in place of omitted words (see MOS:ELLIPSIS). The full original quote can be preserved with the citation using |quote=
 * Thank you very much for the copyedit ! Sagecandor (talk) 01:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * -- hi, this is just to let you know that "Romanian secret police" in Pacepa's case is Securitate, not Siguranța. Pacepa is a former communist, not an officer of the pre-communist royal period, which makes his work all the more interesting. Dahn (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
