I have revised my proposed additions, mainly to standardise the references. | I have revised my proposed additions, mainly to standardise the references. | ||
:Thanks Fernando, the ref formatting looks good, though a few extra tips will be useful: When you use the visual editor it seems to be adding the <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki></code> tags to external links, which are not necessary (it's better if readers can click the link). I'm not sure why that's happening, but these tags can be removed via the source editor when you update the article itself if the same happens there (please feel free to go ahead and add your updates when you are ready). | |||
:Quran verses should be cited using the <code><nowiki>{{Quran||}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Quran-range|||}}</nowiki></code> templates so they can be conveniently clicked by readers to check for themselves on the Quranx website. Wikipedia pages (which we sometimes cite for general overviews) can be linked using another tag in a format like this <code><nowiki>[[w:Petra|Petra]]</nowiki></code>, ‘Climate’ and ‘Byzantine Period’ - Wikipedia.org [where the first parameter is the wikipedia article name and the second is the display text you want to use). I don't use the visual editor myself, but there's an option to insert templates and then search for quran or quran-range. If there's no means to use the <code><nowiki>[[w:]]</nowiki></code> tag in the visual editor it's fine to just use the normal linking feature instead. | |||
:For Crone's article you currently only have a short version of the reference. This seems to be unintentional as your first revision on 10 September removed what was the full reference from your initial comments. It would be better to have the more complete version of the Crone reference for your page update. Similarly, for Tesei's article it's great to link the freely accessible academia copy but as well as giving the full reference. An example of a better format is the Tesei reference in the [[Prophecies in the Quran]] article. [[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 12:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
