Ibid needs to be replaced

The words "ibid" are being used, for Wikipedia, incorrectly. Wikipedia must be allowed to insert it's own reference. The reference must be cited so that future editors do not have to worry about ibid following when they insert a new reference. Student7 19:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The policy states that instead of ibid., editors can use either "named references" (which I didn't want, because the individual page numbers would be lost) or a form like "Smith, Short Title, 182". This will look a bit messy, as I suspect the Cottrell article will always be the predominant source, even though I expect other sources will be added also. Comments please.

My suggestion is to used the "named" reference template. It is supposed to generate something similiar to what you are looking for. Student7 14:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The named reference system as I have used it ends up looking something like this: "^{a b c d} Hawking, Stephen. Black Hole Radiation...." etc. It doesn't allow you to associate a particular page number with each reference. If there is functionality I am not aware of, please let me know. Could use named references and simply comment out the page numbers, to be reinserted if and when extra functionality is implemented, or for the reference of the serious student. Other option is use the other form suggested by the policy. Colin MacLaurin 15:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Work needed

I am expanding the scope of the article to be the entire Commentary Reference Series, of which the Bible Commentary forms the first seven volumes. There is currently little content given about the other volumes. If there is any ambiguity, the comments probably refer to the Bible Commentary only. Colin MacLaurin 10:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this article

This article does not need more work; it needs to be deleted! Clearly, it has high importance for Adventists but no one else. It's title has little to do with its content. The biblical "commentary" that consists of 7 of its 12 volumes is out dated and sectarian. As the article acknowledges, it cannot contain anything that is deemed contrary to the writings of Ellen White. Therefore, it is not the product of biblical scholarship but of theological presupposition, i.e., the normative interpretation role of White. Don't wait another 17 years to act. Delete it now.
