Talk:Sir William Talbot, 3rd Baronet

Proposal for a change of citation style
Dear wikipedian Chrisdoyleorwell or any other interested party that I may have missed. I would like to extend the article but find that the present citation style is too informal which might lead to lack of precision. This article is rated Start and has 4 citations of the style or. I propose to use "short" descriptions in the text (Sfn) and "long" ones using templates (e.g. Cite book) in the list of sources like in the recent FA Frederick the Great.

As prescribed in WP:CITEVAR, I formally ask your permission. I hope to obtain a sufficient number of approvals, but in absence of objections, I will assume that I can go ahead after a month even if none or very few people replied within this period. I would convert the existing citations to the proposed style before any further additions. Respectfully yours, Johannes Schade (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
