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)
