Revert of reference

[edit]

What were the errors in the formating? Wkharrisjr (talk) 17:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Sieveking ref is a catalogue number, not a page number. Johnbod (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Anything else wrong with the referencing? Note that external links should not be in the body of the article, which was the intent of my referencing changes. Wkharrisjr (talk) 13:04, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The citation style should not be changed without discussion. Note that this is a very new user, who will not know what to do with citation templates. Johnbod (talk) 13:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added two inline refs keeping with parenthetical cit. style, but have to say that this style does not lend itself to citing an online museum database. Maybe another editor can make it more sensible. I appreciate that new users may not know what to do with templates (I'm still learning myself), but I applied citation templates to the full citations anyway, just to clean up the style; I used the parameter "chapter" to describe the catalog number on the Sieveking ref. I also removed the inline ext. link because Wkharrisjr is right: they do not belong in the body of the article. IMO, the sooner new users learn about templates, the happier they will be.

That is exactly what WP:CITE says should be done only after obtaining consensus. Johnbod (talk) 13:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Very well, Johnbod, that is the letter of the law. There are now, I presume, two votes for changing the citation style. In the meantime, I'm sure we can agree that WP:CITEVAR does not negate other style guidelines such as WP:ELPOINTS, MOS:TITLE, WP:DATED, etc. Richigi (talk) 15:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This page really needs a picture.

Yeah, why is there no picture? I can't find one online either. Perhaps there isn't one??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.145.103 (talk) 07:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found a photo of it just sitting there on Wikimedia. I've put it on the page. Not sure why it wasn't there before. --Hibernian (talk) 01:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
