Bare URLs?
, apologies if I've misunderstood the nuance re: bare URLs. It seemed to me, comparing the manner in which the references are formatted in this article to others I've worked on (as well as the Hodinkee reference I recently added — which was automatically generated and includes author, title, source, and date), that there was information missing. Using the visual editor to review the existing references, this option is given: "You can use the 'Convert' button below to generate a properly formatted reference from the external link." I've also read WP:BURL which implies that the format of these could references could be expanded too. What am I missing? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi could you please look at Bare URLs. This page includes citations which are not regarded as bare urls. So Bare URL template is not relevant for the page. But, you're right further parameters can be added to them. Hope my answer help, happy editing, --Egeymi (talk) 06:53, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you (read). It would seem that these fall somewhere in between "without any accompanying information" and "proper citations". Is there a maintenance tag which is specifically designed for this case? (I'll go through the article and add further parameters when I have a minute as well.)

Another question re: references
, should the various instances in the text of the company's own website being cited as a reference be replaced and removed (per WP:RS)? Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:27, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * if the information taken from the official website is not promotional, but gives some facts such as establishment year or sales, these can be seen as reliable so no need to remove them. In short, it depends on the content. --Egeymi (talk) 08:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
