Draft talk:Massacre of Tlemcen (1145)

Not ready for article space

@Tahanido: I have moved this article back to draft space because the article is not yet ready for article space. It is missing a lead section and The Articles for Creation WikiProject has certain templates and procedures to follow when you move an article from "Draft:" space to the main article space. One of these is adding the corresponding WikiProject banner to the article talk page, whic was not done. Another is removing the Article For Creation notices in the article, which also was not done. There is also a checking function to ensure guidelines like the article naming conventions for events are followed. For events, artiles are normally named by "When", "Where" and "What", not "What" of "Where" ("When). Using a date enclosed in parentheses also means there are two articles with the same name that need to be disambiguated, which, in this case there are not. I think the article should be named something like "1145 Tlemcen massacre", if Wikipedia's naming criteria are followed. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 19:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Sources

@Diego.julius: Usually, when citations provide an external link to the cited sources of information for an article, one expects to be able to read the source material electronically at the link provided. There is a via= attribute available in the citation template to indicate which website the information about the source is obtained from. Unfortunately, Google Books is not a library service, so if one cannot read the source material on-line at the external link provided, it shouldn't be provided. Providing the ISBN and other publishing details, such as the name of the publisher, location and year of publication, so that the book can be found in a library catalogue, is a good idea. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
