November 2023[edit]

Hello @Surjection: Because you reverted without an edit summary I don't know the reason. Can you explain the reason? Invasive Spices (talk) 17:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

How is a broken link to a text that probably only uses the word "Americanize" any kind of source for what the word actually means? Why do we need to provide a source for what "Americanize" means to begin with? — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 17:32, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
If I correct https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003245131-23/transnational-research-television-history-madeleine-liseblad the link will that be satisfactory? Invasive Spices (talk) 21:31, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Fixing the link doesn't answer the other two questions. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 05:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please read the source and WT:ATTEST. This is an example of usage. Invasive Spices (talk) 17:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's still not a reference. You've already added cites correctly before once, why is it such a problem now? — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 17:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't remember that. Appears I did learn that but I don't remember. Why is citation style important? Invasive Spices (talk) 20:05, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Because citations and references are two completely different things. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 20:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
