CS1 templates vs {{citation}}

@LlywelynII: I'm not sure as to why you've used {{citation}} instead of the {{cite book}}, {{cite journal}}, etc templates that I had left the article with as of June this year. I noticed only because the diffs from a recent edit included addition of full stops at the end of the citations, which is something I recall is (sometimes annoyingly) automatically provided for in the standard CS1 templates. I don't hugely mind, though I would want to know why your (revealed at least) preference exists. Ifly6 (talk) 01:27, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

If it doesn't make any difference to you, then don't worry about it.

On the other hand, the way the current CAH is set up is out of alphabetical order and entirely unhelpful. If you're only citing Errington's part of the book, then only list Errington's part of the book and list it under the Es, not the Cs for a lead editor who has nothing to do with anything in this article.  — LlywelynII 01:57, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I would have preferred that the existing citation style have been kept; I am just not willing to revert it now that it has been changed. I copied the citation from my article on the Roman–Seleucid war. As I had surmised, you have changed the citation style to match. Ifly6 (talk) 02:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting the Adriatic: it's the wrong sea. Ifly6 (talk) 02:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Could you clarify this phrase although it has been suggested it may have intended effeminately hairless instead; I'm not exactly sure what is meant by it. Ifly6 (talk) 03:33, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
