[[User:Vanderwaalforces\|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces\|talk]]) 23:01, 10 January 2024 (UTC) For the article [[Icebreaker (non-fiction book)]], I'm interested in this book: ~~== Proposal to deprecate the country parameter of {{Tl\|Infobox 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]] ([[User talk:Daask\|talk]]) 18:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC) There is a discussion at [[Template talk:Infobox book#Proposal to deprecate "country" in favor of "location"]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. [[User:Οἶδα\|Οἶδα]] ([[User talk:Οἶδα\|talk]]) 10:40, 25 February 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]].
