Page numbers
We might consider losing the page numbers to clean up the reference list. Page numbers are needed in a few circumstances I don't think this is one of them.--OMCV (talk) 01:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I like the page numbers. I feel like I really have the reference WITH the page number, while in the book or AAJ alone, they can be really hard to find.  I don't mind the reference section getting kinda long...  Ratagonia (talk) 06:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * While its not my preferred way of referencing thing another way would be to have abbreviated footnotes with page numbers that link and refereed to a detailed bibliography. Basically a two tiered system.  The first page that is done this way that comes to mind is Cold fusion.  Let me know if that looks good to you Ratagonia and I'll help set it up.  If you don't care for it things can stay the way they are, I'm just offering an idea.--OMCV (talk) 12:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * This is an issue across all the climbing pages, and more. However, MY Opinion is that it is not a 'problem'.  That the footnote section becomes long and tedious - no big deal.  That's what scrolling is for.  Abbreviated footnotes with page numbers is possible, but one problem with the AAJ is that each article is by a different author.  A two-tiered system - a complexity undesirable to solve a non-problem.  Let's leave it be.  Ratagonia (talk) 17:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
