Referencing

Hi Xicanx, that's becoming a mighty impressive article at Detribalization. I just wanted to drop a note regarding reference style, as you may want to address that before you add further material that might have to be refactored later. You are using short form notation to refer to multiple locations/pages within the same works, but you appear to be mixing it up with standard long form for the "base reference" in the same section . E.g., the Batalla book has a number of page refs, but there is also a templated reference for the work in total. This may be confusing to the reader, especially if there are a lot of sources. The standard method here would be to have one section named "Notes" that contains all the short form location/page refs, formatted by template as you do; followed by a section named "References" that contains the complete works, but just as a bulleted list, not as anchored templates. An example is given here. You might consider implementing this to keep things organized. Cheers and keep up the Good Wiki Work :) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Elmidae, thank you for this recommendation. I've just updated the citations and I think it looks much better now. Thanks! --Xicanx (talk) 04:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
