Simple, accurate, ethical substantiation, documentation, referencing, bibliography preparation
editHello. I did not understand if reference was deleted because of not conforming to style/manual requirements or other. (Original reference appeared to conform to external reference template, and provided url, title, author, and other relevant, specific data to allow Wikipedia readers to further investigate basis for important assertion that Vera was the filming location for the final scene of Antonioni's "The Passenger.") As already stated in discussion, there is little if any doubt that this is the precise reference for the Wikipedia claim. Without this or a comparable valid reference, the assertion is bald. The original author of the assertion regarding "Vera" should provide, if possible, whatever was the reference for this quite novel, important claim in the literature regarding "The Passenger." If I am incorrect and Rosenfeld's Internet book was not the reference, consideration should be given to providing the alternative correct, accurate source of the claim in its place. I mention, parenthetically, that it seems highly unlikely that there is an alternative reference that approximates the legitimacy and careful documention of Rosenfeld's research. Deleting Rosenfeld as a useful, if not unique reference--and providing nothing in its stead--seems without merit. --Varinia Simmons (talk) 01:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC) (Varinia Simmons).
- Rosenfeld, alone, is not sufficient, please use the templates, and add the information to the citation that makes sense. You need to copy and paste the information between {{ }} in the template.--Abebenjoe (talk) 02:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
