This is a useful page. Can it be expanded to give advice as to how to use Google Books?

Not much more to add than that! But a walk-through of how the essay author moved from incorrect referencing to the correct references would be brilliant. --bodnotbod (talk) 14:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Names

"I have no idea how it came up with the name Shiruku Rōdo-gaku Kenkyū Sentā; perhaps he is the journal's editor?"

That's an English transliteration of a Japanese transliteration of "Research Center for Silk Roadology."

Senta = Center
Shiruku = Silk
Rodo = Road

"-gaku" is presumably "-ology", and "Kenkyu" "Research". DS (talk) 19:44, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
