Sources and references

I'm not sure the guidance on sources and references is clear. But maybe I just haven't read enough yet. Also, this and the "encyclopedic standards" group might want to coordinate with the "fact-checking" group. Maurreen 16:48, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It's not, we need to come up with some consensus. And yes those two projects seem overlapping, and should at the minimum keep an eye out for each other. - Taxman 20:58, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)

Taxman, do you see some of these you think might be appropriate for a collaborative effort to improve their sourcing? If so, please drop a note at Wikipedia talk:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:03, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

As I mentioned there, yes any of them would be. - Taxman 20:58, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)

Doom

I have separated external links and "further reading" works from references for Doom. It still needs work though, in that although these references cover 95% of what's in the article, there are a few specific figures and facts that should probably be given appropriately specific references in the form of footnotes or specific, inlined links. I'll try to go through those soon. Fredrik | talk 01:54, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Great, thank you, please do. I went and formatted them according to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Cite sources, taking a few liberties with the reliability of dates and authors that I can't confirm personally. I will move Doom down to a fixed section. - Taxman 06:25, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
