Book urls in citations

My understanding for the use of cite templates is that links to sites like Google should be avoided if the OCLC or ISBN is included. These generate links which take the reader to a selection of book catalogue sites, and the user can make their own choice. This better fits the Wikipedia model of neutrality or agnosticism which means we avoid recommending Google over other search or catalogue tools. Thanks -- (talk) 09:51, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@: Yeah, I've seen the admonitions against "commercial booksellers, such as Amazon.com" in the citation template documentation, but I don't think that most editors apply that to gbooks as well: we have instructions on linking to it in the guide to citing sources, a tool and a template for formatting the refs, and >500,000 articles with gbooks links. Personally I think the gbooks page previews are very useful for assessing and verifying sources. Cheers, gnu57 10:52, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The RFC was over 8 years ago and there were mixed opinions, it was hardly a slam dunk, consequently another RFC might well fail. At the end of the day, Google is a commercial site and spams visitors with links for where they can buy the book they are looking for, giving links to Amazon (for which they get commission), links to Google Play for eBooks and top level star ratings with links to their own books sales website.
Compare that to links to WorldCat, which does not do any of this.
If you are really interested, it might be an idea to run another RFC on exactly this issue again. -- (talk) 10:59, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@: I've been mulling this over a bit, and I think it would be a bad idea for me to open an RfC. I've never done one before, and the more I read about RfCs in general and this question in particular, the more I'm convinced I'd be out of my depth. (I saw this essay today and thought "ok, no thanks".) If you'd like to propose one at some point, I'd be happy to participate; in the meantime, though, I'm satisfied with the apparent status quo.

We have done a 5X expansion. I intend to submit a WP:DYK. I will include all the contributors. Any suggestions for a hook? 7&6=thirteen () 11:33, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks for all the hard work and sources. Considering this stuff wasn't in the Dutch wikipedia article, you've done Yeoman's service. 7&6=thirteen () 15:50, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indiggo

I see you have adopted the article.

(1) COGE Two-Fingered Typist relented on all of the questionable cites except Bernstoff. See my talk page.

(2) I had started expanding some cites to include city and owner using the Romanian and English Wikipedia. Obviously, where it is the same publication or website, you can expand those cites.

(3) For non-internet cites (L&O SVU Companion, L&O SVU DVD, Wicked Clone Album CD, Twins Indiggo Book, etc.), I had access to all the physical books and CD's except the Indiggo album. I currently don't have access.

(4) All the cites have working links (archival links in some cases) as of September 2018.

(5) Indiggo had another run at the American Theatre of Actors mid-December 2018 to mid-January 2019. There is a Broadway World release early December as well as articles at the beginning of January 2019.

If you write on my talk page, I'll receive an email.

I'm very happy you've adopted the article. I put a lot of work into it from July - November 2018. I think after you have gone through the cites (which I did) and checked my work, you will be able to get it to "Good Article" status. I had dreams of "Featured Article" but I don't think the cites have sufficient quality. In general the best Romanian newspapers are little more than American tabloids.

I think you will find working on the article to be very satisfying. Vyeh (talk) 19:01, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at your edits. Time Out New York did list Hip Hop Belly Dance as a class. While Libertatea might have exaggerated the listing, can the sentence you took out be reworded to reflect that Hip Hop Belly Dance was in Time Out New York? Vyeh (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AWB request granted

Hello Genericusername57. Following your request at WP:PERM, I have added your username to the CheckPage that allows you to use AutoWikiBrowser. If you no longer want to have this access, let me know and I will remove it for you. Cheers, Mz7 (talk) 21:54, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, thank you very much. Cheers, gnu57 22:00, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. In the future, before I take on an aspect of wikipedia editing that I am unfamiliar with, I will try and read up on it first to avoid coloring outside of the lines, or as in this case, removing color entirely.
