Categorizing estimates

edit

@Geysirhead and @Hedviberit: Could you please explain the rationale for categorizing estimates based on whether they were made by political scientists, historians, or research groups? I've never seen that sort of categorization on another list on Wikipedia and I'm not sure what value it has. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:56, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

The categories are not my idea, but I guess they work as a form of additional information about the sources, for example by explaining that "Karta" is a research group (the term "Karta" doesn't tell us much and is quite enigmatic). That said, I'm not strongly against removing them, and the same information could be added in parenthesis inside the table. Hedviberit (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Citation reformatting.

edit

I added about 10K bytes of citation and referencing edits. A lot of research was required because of the low quality of the source citations. I hope it satisfies whomever tagged them as "not properly formatted". (Whatever that means, the Help page was absolutely no help.) There are several citations that I could not update and they remain in their original (low quality) wording. Hopefully whoever added the refs using these citations can improve them as the various tags suggest.

I would suggest that ENglish translations be added. This is an English Wikipedia.

P.S. It was an interesting editting exercise. User-duck (talk) 18:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
