Regarding recent edits to Djedkare articles
Hello there, I'm posting a talk page comment following my recent edits to the articles on Djedkare and his pyramid. As I noted in my edit summaries, the 'sources' section of an article should only contain those sources which are cited in the body of the article - a small black warning pops up for sources that don't link to any cites reading 'Harv warning: There is no link pointing to this citation. The anchor is named CITEREF[ANCHORNAME]'. It's not quite the type of bibliography that is usually present in scholarship.

In the pyramid article you also reformatted the citations to 2016a and 2016b moving them to 2016b and 2016c. This has a problematic effect on the citations in the article, as they point directly to 2016a and 2016b by design. If you click on any of the blue links under the 'references' section it will take you to its corresponding entry in the 'sources' section. Simply moving those citations doesn't work as it alters where the citation links point. It also causes the 'harverror' mentioned above as 2016c does not link to any citations.

Some articles have a further reading section where relevant sources that aren't directly cited may be placed, but I'm not sure that a dissertation alone would justify creating such a section, even coming from a prominent Egyptologist in the topic area such as Mohamed Megahed. You're a brand new editor and so couldn't be expected to already know this information, but I hope this explains why I undid your edits. Mr rnddude (talk) 22:29, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
