Source
Hello, why did you remove the source that I added to the plasma repeater page? 88.120.49.44 18:37, 24 November 2014 (EST).
- Likely because it wasn't done properly, from what I see in the diff. Please see this guide on how to reference sources.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 18:43, 24 November 2014 (EST)
- Yep, that's why I did it. In hindsight, I probably should have stated my reason in the edit summary. - NightHammer (talk) 18:52, 24 November 2014 (EST)
- Ok, I understand. Thank you for the explanation. 88.120.49.44 19:05, 24 November 2014 (EST).
Book editions and page numbers
Which editions of the newer books (e.g. Broken Circle and Glasslands) are you using to cite sources? I've noticed your page numbers don't always match up with mine (I have the standard paperback editions for said books). I noticed this recently with the references you added to the Doisac page but this isn't the first time so I doubt it's a mistake on your part and assume you're simply referencing different editions.
I bring this up because I'm wondering if we should include notes to specify different editions in our sources whenever necessary (the page numbers in the classic books are fairly consistent but there appear to be inter-edition differences in the newer ones). ISBNs would be straightforward on a conceptual level, though looking them up every time when citing a source would get tedious very fast. Would the distinction between paperback, hardcover, and digital editions be enough or are there layout differences within those too? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 01:21, 30 December 2014 (EST)
