Citations

It doesn't look to me like the citations in this article are being at all properly used. Instead, at least the bulk of them just amount to different places this book is advertised. - Jmabel | Talk 02:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear sir, I could not understand. References are not enough? Virenderthind2019 (talk) 02:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest my fellow experienced editors i) take a look at [1] an ii) start assisting the new editor who created the article rather than hassling him. I'm sure my first 113 edits weren't covered in glory; and neither were theirs. "Transcendant irony", indeed.

Sorry, Andy, I have higher priorities than this article: happened to be pulled here to look at it (over the photo, if I remember right), saw something not quite right. In particular: bringing in a different review, just to cite for the author's name, is not how citations are usually used. @Virenderthind2019: I suggest looking at a few similar articles to get a better sense of how citations are normally used. If you already have a reference for a fact, especially an uncontroversial fact, and you have nothing substantive to bring in from the new source, usually you don't bring in a new source. Nothing actively wrong with it, just a little weird to bring in a bunch of reviews as references & not pull anything of substance from some of those reviews. - Jmabel | Talk 01:06, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
