== Best source for date of first publication ==
For the article [[Icebreaker (non-fiction book)]], I'm interested in this book:
{{cite book | last=Suvorov | first=Viktor | translator-first1=Madeleine | translator-last1=Berelowitch | translator-first2=Vladimir | translator-last2=Berelowitch | title=Le brise-glace | trans-title=The icebreaker | publisher=Olivier Orban | isbn=978-2-85565-478-2 | oclc=461996651 | language=fr}}
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]], 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]]. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|featured article criteria]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|here]].<!--Template:FARMessage--> [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 23:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
