AManWithNoPlan: still assuming good faith here, but what's up with the seemingly persistent wrecking of this article with that broken script? Don't get me wrong, it seems like a useful tool when used correctly, but what is the point of using it on this article when all it does is add redundant work identifiers and wreck coherent syntax? Identifiers as such are already provided. There may be alternative identifiers, sure, yet their existence does not require their use (although if you're into that sort of thing we could definitely use you over at WikiData, on the other hand).

I equally fail to understand why you would add the author's name to a citation of work that is listed among other works in a ection entitled "publications". It can't be that confusing, I hope, since whose publication could it be but the subject's? Most puzzling of all, why redundantly add the author's name to just one out of six citations?—so many questions.

Anyways, take care! jdeazy (t • c) 19:12, 12 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

I am in the process of removing all http://www.jstor.org/... links on wikipedia. The bot helps me do that. I have no problem with you removing added identifiers, although there is seems to be a feeling that they are a good thing (that's a debate I stay out of). Runnig the bot twice because the first time did not catch the jstor link, so it popped upon the list of pages to do again, and I did it by hand which is why it looks like I came back and undid your work with some type of vendeta.

Thanks for the quick response and apologies for my venomous words. In any case, I figured it had something to do with the jstor urls, so I already left them out this time around. I'll keep a look out for any stray ones I might come across. However, not to be THAT guy, but I disagree with your choice regarding the use of hyphens for ISBNs, haha. Though I understand these serve a purpose, they're basically arbitrary on Wikipedia. None of the external links at Special:BookSources use them. jdeazy (t • c) 19:48, 12 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
I am not trying to remove jstor links, just convert them to the jstor parameter or template, just to be 100% clear. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 19:53, 12 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
No worries, that's how I understood it. jdeazy (t • c) 20:02, 12 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
