Line 16: Should we make articles on certain fiction novels? Please chat me at my talk page. [[User_talk:Editor028\|My talk page]]-Editor028 == Best source for date of first publication == ~~==Historical Dictionary of Switzerland==~~ Hi, I'm updating this article with the fr translation and with new content. I noticed the originating editors used an "Infobox website" for the article which seems odd since subject is an encyclopedia. Would it be considered normal to use something "book series" and tack on a website infobox at the end so I can retain the logo. On the fr wikipedia, the book view of the encyclopedia image is inside the infobox, but they have a specific encyclopedia infobox, which we don't seem to have. It looks kind of odd at the moment and any help is appreciated.

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) Would some members of this WikiProject take a look at [[:Carol Sklenicka]]? The article seems to start out as a BLP about Sklenicka but the focus then shifts to being mainly about two of her books. Perhaps there's enough about each of these books per [[:WP:NBOOK]] for separate articles to be created about each of these books? -- [[User:Marchjuly\|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly\|talk]]) 23:53, 30 July 2023 (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]].
