Strange author name in citations
has added three references in this edit Special:Diff/883891235, two of them have {{nowrap|1= as the author. Is {{nowrap| }} really a person's name?? I suspect it's rather a name of some group or may be a position in the broadwayworld.com team, and as such it shouldn't be mentioned as an author of the cited article. --CiaPan (talk) 12:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * So should the citations be removed?
 * Even if it is a good enough website, do we need to make sure that the author is a person's name before citating it? It says TV Scoop but as you said it can be a position in the broadwayworld.com team, there is a person on that position, right?Horses With Angel Wings (talk) 04:05, 26 February 2019 (UTC)


 * {{re|Horses With Angel Wings}} No, of course the citation should not be removed. It just needs a little fix.
 * How. Even if it is a position, not a team, the ‘TV Scoop’ is a name of the position, not the person holding it. The pair of letters ‘TV’ is an acronym for Television, and certainly not initials for Terri Vicky Scoop or Tom Victor Scoop. Hence it should not be written as ‘T.V.’ and should not be separated from the ‘Scoop’.
 * Where. As a part of the position name ‘TV’ certainly should not be put into the  parameter of the template – that is supposed to keep a person's given name. The documentation for {{tl|Citation}} and {{tl|Cite web}} templates says (see [1] and [2]) that for corporate authors the parameter   should be used, or some of its aliases (e.g.  ). For example: {{nowrap|1=  }}.
 * However... I'm not sure if the TV Scoop, whether a single-person position or a team, is a legal entity and, as a result, if it has any authorship rights. Possibly we should display the broadwayworld.com only as a  — but this is outside my competence. And that's why I posted my doubts here, at the article's talk page for a wider discussion, and not as a personal note at your talk page. {{smiley}} CiaPan (talk) 10:18, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
