The reference that I corrected was wrong in two ways. First, the author's first name was misspelled (it is Fragkiska, not Fragiska). Second, it seems that the format of references is "last name, first initial," and if so then the name was reversed: the last name is Megaloudi. This is important to correct both out of respect for the author and for someone who is attempting to locate the article, as I was. If presenting bibliographic information correctly is "not constructive," that would be a quite a shame for Wikipedia's reputation and usefulness, but so be it. 73.45.15.149 (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

In case it matters to anyone, the reference here is almost correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery#cite_note-Fragiska-47, although the author's first name is once again misspelled (Frag*k*iska, not Fragiska). (In light of this experience, I dare not correct it, although I've never worked with an academic encyclopedia indifferent to correcting such things.) 73.45.15.149 (talk) 18:27, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
