Page 1983:227 - of what? Rmhermen (talk) 00:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There's a references section on the bottom of the page.--Berig (talk) 05:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That section lists three things. Which one is being cited? See WP:Cite for correct formating. Rmhermen (talk) 19:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you please explain what you are objecting to? Page's article from 1983 is listed in the reference section.--Berig (talk) 19:27, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What threw me at first was Page - I was expecting to find something on page 1983 of an unnamed source. It appears you are using a non-standard version of Harvard referencing (or really a hybrid of Harvard and footnote styles) WP:Cite links to several templates for doing "correct" Harvard citation, although I prefer footnote style where the full source is less likely to be accidently lost.

 * So I have to use "Author 1983, p.23." rather than "Author 1983:23". I have always used Harvard referencing IRL, and when I switched to footnotes on WP, the difference never struck me since there are so many varied ways of referencing.--Berig (talk) 07:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No "Author 1983:23" is ok but for Harvard style it is supposed to be in the text not in a footnotes section. If I click on a footnote I expect to see the entire citation. I don't know that I am getting only part of it and need to go to a further section to see the rest. But I am not an expert on this - and I always use footnote style myself - so perhaps it is better to ask on the WP:Cite talk page. Rmhermen (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Old Norse transliteration is misleading
The phrasing should be normalized Latin. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 20:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
