Template talk:Citenews
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Something's odd with the edit history of this page. The vandalism I reverted is not shown in the revision history. I can see it in the diffs though, if I replay them in the right order. Bizarre. Rl 19:32, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] parentheses
as best I can tell, parentheses are not usually used around the date in most common newspaper citation styles. rather dates are set off by a comma or period. to me, the parenthesis look weird, and they are inconsistent with the style i've seen used in recent articles, e.g. Michael Brown. does anyone object to using the Turabian style guide? An example:
“All Bridge Lanes Reopened,” San Francisco Chronicle, 2005-09-15. Derex 00:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Proposal to deprecate
I would like to propose to deprecate this template and replace all calls with {{cite news}}. I offer to do this edit work on the articles by using WP:AWB. --Adrian Buehlmann 12:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why not a redirect to template cite news
The reason why I do not like redirects for templates is, that it generates an additional alias for the same template (the same template appears under another name). This makes searching and replacing of inclusions in articles harder. --Ligulem 22:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
