Line 15: == Fiction Books == Should we make articles on certain fiction novels? Please chat me at my talk page. [[User_talk:Editor028\|My talk page]]-Editor028 ~~==Request for input==~~ I've been trying to discuss changes to [[Shōgun (novel)]], but I receive very little replies. Input would be appreciated. See [[Talk:Shōgun (novel)#Edit warring/content disputes]] and [[Talk:Shōgun (novel)#Premise]]. Thank you. [[User:Soetermans\|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">soetermans</span>]].

That's why I want to read a physical book. It's not only that I have been interested in reading. So yeah, what is the best library in New York City? I would appreciate some answers.

[[User:Wikiexplorationandhelping\|Wikiexplorationandhelping]] ([[User talk:Wikiexplorationandhelping\|talk]]) 02:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC) == Best source for date of first publication == Line 32 ⟶ 22: A [https://archive.org/details/icebreakerwhosta00suvo_0/page/n7 1990 translation/republication] says it was first published in 1988. All other sources, such as [https://www.amazon.com/dp/2855654785 Amazon], [https://search.worldcat.org/title/461996651 Worldcat], [https://books.google.com/books?id=GWQHHAAACAAJ Google Books], and [https://doi.org/10.2307/2620392 a 1990 review article] say 1989. What's most reliable? I wouldn't care for the purposes of citation, but I wonder what year should be specified in the article text itself. [[User:Daask\|Daask]] ([[User talk:Daask\|talk]]) 18:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC) :@[[User:Daask\|Daask]], I'd use 1989, though there is a case for listing both (or creating a footnote that explains the discrepancy). WorldCat alone is the source most often referenced on Wikipedia for dates like this, though WorldCat can potentially miss earlier publications. A good next step would be to request a copy of the title and/or copyright pages (if they exist) to corroborate the date. I try to use reviews where possible. [https://academic.oup.com/ia/article-abstract/66/4/812/2470666 This one] uses 1989. <span style="background:#F3F3F3; color:inherit; padding:3px 9px 4px">[[User talk:Czar\|<span style='font:bold small-caps 1.2em sans-serif;color:#871E8D'>czar</span>]]</span> 18:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC) == FAR for The Slave Community == I have nominated [[The Slave Community]] for a [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Slave Community/archive1\|featured article review here]].
