If you don't want to use harv refs I'll format them, but please don't change the style used currently Darkness Shines (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for creating a talk entry to discuss reference style. Can you talk a little more about why you chose this style? It seems inconsistent with the way Harvard Referencing is typically done eg. in-text (Author DATE) or (Author Date pg.). I'm not an expert, but it looks like if you replace "sfn" macros with "harv" macros, you can get a result that looks more like Harvard Referencing. I know this is the way shortened footnotes are supposed to work, but I think the style looks broken: clicking on the reference hyperlink opens up a partial reference, which must be clicked on again to get to the full reference in a nested popup.
- More importantly, can you talk about why Harvard Referencing is appropriate here, in an article of this size? It seems like the advantages of Harvard referencing it that it makes access to the reference information easier for the reader to access, but with hypertext linked footnotes, this seems like a much less useful feature. Since the article is so small, jumping to the bottom of the article and back again isn't that big a deal anyway.
- I know Wikipedia doesn't officially have a house style, but the default use of Cite error: A
<ref>
tag is missing the closing</ref>
(see the help page).
- "Rose City Antifa, an amorphous and largely anonymous group of anti-fascists." [1]
- There are clearer sources. Top quality sources as these descriptions come from the authors, instead of the pesky "so and so said" attribution within the story. I'm beginning to think it's just that you don't like it, thus don't want it. Graywalls (talk) 17:31, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
