The Spearman Reporter text and citation both have the misspelling "seige." This is a mistake in the original, so would you please add [sic] in both places? 208.95.51.38 (talk) 14:13, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- Not done; it's already in the main text and we can't add it to the title because it's not actually part of the citation. Graham87 14:35, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- What do you mean? I copy the text: "Because of this long seige of dust..." There's no [sic] in there. And [sic] can be added to titles. See Sic#Read. 208.95.51.38 (talk) 15:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, there was an instance of {{sic}} to let computer programs know that the misspelling was intentional, but it was set not to output "[sic]" in the actual article; I've gone and changed that. As for the newspaper article, the top of the template's documentation explains that it should not be used in citation templates because it makes them more difficult to read with computers using COinS. Graham87 06:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, I realise why "sic" was hidden in the instance you cite now ... because "beseiged" was already marked as such. I've therefore undone my edit. Graham87 06:45, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
- Graham, why does the COinS problem matter? You could just put [sic] into the header. Be sure to use the code (which I used here) instead of the brackets, of course. 208.95.51.38 (talk) 13:19, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
