Sources and citations
Auction listings are not usually considered to be good sources. They tend to be transient, and their authors are biased, wanting to make the item listed as attractive as possible. besides which, they are the product of a single person, with no editorial control or fact checking.

When citing an extensive printed or PDF-format source, page numbers are essential. For all citations, the title of the article or other actual source, and the title of the containing work, if any should be given. The author, publication date, and publisher should be provided if possible (unless the publisher is redundant with the containing work. It adds nothing to note that The New York Times is published by the New York Tomes co.) Use of cite web, cite book, and the related templates is optional. But if they are not used, much the same information should be provided. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:58, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you please review WP:RS (in particular WP:SCHOLARSHIP and WP:UGC) and consider editing/researching further with respect to the sources. I've tagged a bunch with bettersource, but really they should probably be removed. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Quotations
Quotations must be attributed to their sources in the article text, as well as cites to a reliable source. Text such as followed by 4 source citations does not make it possible to verify the quotation, because there is no knowing which (if any) of the cited sources it comes from.

Text such as is not a direct quote, but because of its statement of opinion ("exceptional standard", "elegantly shaped", "innovative design features") must be treated as a quotation and attributed in text, or else converted to a direct quotation. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 01:04, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
