Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine

You're right! I was fooled by the large amount of references on Internet to Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, and by my understanding of what would be more correct, grammatically speaking. Regards, —capmo (talk) 14:49, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

How would

be added to the bottom of this template? —Eli355 ( talkcontribs ) 17:11, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Bot made a little mess

here by removing comment close tags '-->'. FYI. --Palosirkka (talk) 13:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Yeah that's an old one. It should be OK now. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:38, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Location etc

Thank you for defending the bot. Of course, when I need to get copy of the reference how will I know where to buy the plane tickets too without the location🤣😂🤣😂🙄 AManWithNoPlan (talk) 01:06, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

In your opinion: are people using journal for what are actually newsletters and magazines? Is that why they think publishers are important? AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:16, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
That's an exceedingly rare (mis)use. Most uses are simply because people don't know what a proper citation is, and they see that {{cite journal}} has a |publisher= parameter, which makes them think "Oh, this must be important information for a journal!", when it's really not. And then because they've gone out of their way to include publisher, they've convinced themselves this is something 'useful' to the reader, in the context of WP:V. This is a mostly psychological effect, you believe the work you do has value, otherwise your efforts have been 'wasted', and no one likes that. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:24, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Every parameter is sacred and if a parameter is wasted...... AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:42, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Pretty much, yup. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Top shift. Any thoughts on the ISBN13 discussion? AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Haven't seen it, but ISBN 13 > ISBN 10. And I wish the both would hyphenate them. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:49, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
I have considered adding hyphens to the bot, but it is a huge database to add and such. I use a different tool to add them. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:51, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
