Formatting Citations
Hello. I am new here. I have a question about the formating of citations. Recently, when editting various articles on bowed instruments, I have noticed an inconsistency in form. In the article I created entitled "Bass violin," a full bibliograpy is included in a section called "References," preceded by a section called "Notes," containing abbreviated inline citations. In contrast, when I went to cite a source in the article Double bass, a much longer article, it contained one section called "References," containing a mix of abbreviated and long-form in-line citations. Although my search in it was not extensive, the Manual of Style did not seem to prefer one method over the other. Does the Musical Instruments WikiProject prefer that reference lists are somewhat uniform?BassHistory (talk) 23:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
