References are inconsistent

I'll refrain from further editing on the article for the foreseeable future, but I do want to point out that a number of citation formats are being used on the page. Standardizing is best per WP:CITEVAR, and it makes it possible for other editors to edit/add material without furthering the mess.

I saw citation templates in use on the page and started standardizing some of the references to that format. (I don't have a strong preference for them; I had not encountered them until I saw them in use in this article. I came to the article out of curiosity, and as I read, I liked the way the cite templates were offering the full cite information while the in-text citations remained concise.) I didn't realize how contentious they were, as Haploidavey pointed out on my talk page. I'm just pointing out that a consensus would help improve the page.

Thanks for the changes that you have made. I think that the sfn/harvnb tags are an improvement, since they were already present on the page, they make the references shorter, and are machine-readable. I'm not terribly convinced that they are any harder to use than any other wiki-syntax (I actually find it much easier to read a text with sfn/harvnb tags than one with ref tags) and they are now very wide-spread across the wiki.

Why is it controversial?

Template:Tq

Please explain why it is controversial here. Viriditas (talk) 10:56, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Controversial means the "meaning and morality", in this cases, is not agreed upon. Example: scholar A thinks it means x, scholar B thinks it means y. Controversial is a neutral adjective here. 27.55.89.161 (talk) 10:06, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
