Pliny the Elder (N.H. 5.11)
Hi

It is normal to use abbreviations without explanation ONLY when they are either:


 * Commonly used, or


 * Have been already defined in previous text

In other words, "Blah Blah Rhubarb (BBR)", in the first use of BBR, and then one can use "BBR" after that - even then, it is advisable to redefine if there is a lot of text between first and second use ...Why? Because if that person is only interested in the information in one section, they should not have to read the whole article to find where the abbr. is defined.

One cannot simply start saying "BBR" in an article WITHOUT first defining the term, as no one would have a clue I meant "Blah Blah Rhubarb"

Here, we have "Pliny the Elder (N.H. 5.11)" - no one knows what N.H. 5.11 is.

Furthermore, there are no refs for the whole of that section - so there is NO WAY for anyone to find out what the hell that is. I have had to search Google and Wikipedia to try and find out what this means, and after 20 minutes I am guessing it is meant to refer to Pliny's work, Natural_History_(Pliny) Can someone confrim and amend please Chaosdruid (talk) 12:56, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
