Could someone add this reference?
I see the Australian Dictionary of Biography cited, but not listed in Reference section. Could it be added, editors, ISBN, and all?

 * It does not need to be listed in the "Reference" section as there is a properly formatted cite to the online version. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 01:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

There has been a very recent change to Wikipedia policy concerning books accessed via the internet. You might want to check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT#Say_where_you_found_the_material

 * Which is precisely what Bryce is doing, he read the online edition, so those are the details that should be giving. David Underdown (talk) 09:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * David's reply sums this up perfectly. I found this material online, not in a book which I have never seen. Also, this is rather different than if I had, say, read material from Google Books. In that case I would list the source in the "References" section as I had seen the book, just it was online. The cited version of the Australian Dictionary of Biography, however, is rather different as one is not viewing an online copy of the book(s), just an entry on the website. This is precisely why Template:Australian Dictionary of Biography exists. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 10:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
