Downgrading of citations at Lafayette Morehouse
Hi! I am a former university reference librarian & a long time editor. I was surprised to find that you reverted three of my citation improvements & left only an explanation of Switched in the edit summary. Let's go through why I find your downgrading to be problematic.
 * , published irregularly from 1969 to 2004
 * This citation points to the OCLC record for the journal, published "under the auspices of the Institute of Human Abilities" (search for that string in the article). This is important because it helps the reader to find the journal in libraries, albeit only three. I consider the OCLC publication start date of 1969 more accurate than 1970, unless you have a better source.


 * The previous citation,, implies that this is the Flicker page of Lafayette Morehouse. It is not. It is a photograph of an individual who visited the property, & its full title is in the HTML title tag is "Lafayette 1 | Looking down towards the pool and the nightclu… | luckygirl | Flickr". I have added a more complete title & author information so it now looks like this:

 * The previous version, was simply incomplete & inadequate. As I subsequently realized that there was a version in references, I removed the version from the External links section & combined my previous version with the reference citation to produce:

I would invite you to read about how we do citation templates. I think that this would be useful for you, as most editors rather dislike it when they have placed a more complete citation template only to have it reverted to the previous incomplete & less informative version. Please remember that part of the Prime objective is to provide free access to the sum of all human knowledge. I consider part of that vision to be the proper linking for references, external links, & further reading so that readers can easily access those knowledge sources.

Wikier55: Ok I'm not sure if this is the right way to respond but I didn't intend to downgrade any of those citations, if I did it was a mistake, thanks for your work and feedback Peaceray!
