Removal of information from cites is unacceptable

[edit]

@Boghog: Removing information from citation templates to match an editor's own preferred style is unacceptable, is subtle vandalism, and must stop:

WP:CITEVAR#Variation in citation methods

@Invasive Spices: I have added information, not deleted information. In the first link that you have provided, the original citation contained initials for first author names. My edit also used first initials, hence no loss of information. In the second link that you provided, the original version used first name initials in PMID 3060004, 12887589, 22049092, 8952077, 16132178 and I retained those first name initials while at the same time filled in missing parameters like |pmid=. The only exception was PMID 10072391 in which I replaced the first name Angela with the first initial, but at the same time added the second through fourth authors that were completely missing, and added a missing title and missing pmid. Finally the first contributor used {{cite doi}} and {{cite pmid}}, both of which have been deprecated. Boghog (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
