Urban informatics

Hi Sunday9pm. First, thanks for the useful article on urban informatics. But could you fix the references in it if you get the chance? You can't use a book as a reference to itself - for example: there is the work of the late William J. Mitchell, Dean of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning, and author of the 1995 book "City of Bits: Space, Place, and the Infobahn. cites the book itself and that won't work because all it does is attest to the existence of the book which doesn't really indicate its important. You need to find some other reliable source that refers to this book and supports "precursors to this transdisciplinarity of "people, place, and technology." I assume the Foth cite does that and - if it does - it should be moved to where the city of bits citation is. There are many such examples in the article. Thanks. --regentspark (comment) 22:40, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IGI Global

Books published by IGI Global are not acceptable as sources here. IGI Global is a vanity press. Guy (Help!) 10:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your entry on my talk page, Guy. It may be better if you place your comment on the Talk page of the Urban Informatics article itself. Fair enough that IGI Global in general is a vanity press publisher, however, if you access the research book chapter of the reference you are trying to remove, you will realise that this is study is respectable and peer reviewed research – so I don't see a reason to apply some dubious universal filter to remove everything from IGI without first checking the merits of the actual material. sunday9pm (talk) 11:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
