Conservapedia talk:Footnotes - technical help (view source)
Revision as of 09:52, July 13, 2007
, 09:52, July 13, 2007→Footnote style: On it being cumbersome
:::I have been asked to comment on this matter. I don't know how I feel about this. The pro argument is that if a link changes you can find it easier. Also, people can see the source. The con argument is that people don't cite enough as it is now and making it more cumbersome might actually deter sourcing. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 13:54, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

::::Yes, making it more cumbersome might deter providing sources, but then asking people to provide sources might deter them from writing article, too! It is a valid concern, but not one that should dictate what our standards are, in my opinion. And providing just a link does not work when the source is not on-line anyway; in these other cases, we still need to define a style for presenting the information. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
