Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fixed the citation issue yet?

2016-09-10 Thread Gerard Meijssen 
Hoi,
That is another issue.. I do not think so. For us being able to link a
statement in a text or in Wikidata is what we define as a source.

For me the central question is: Are Wikipedians willing to consider quality
in their own project and appreciate that as a fringe benefit for them the
quality of sources will improve in Wikidata and in their project. So far
arguments why and how it will improve things have been made and so far the
silence is deafening.
Thanks,
   GerardM

My observation would be that citations come in many forms, and that a
agreed format does not appear to exist. Writing for a academic journal
authors have to follow the style of the journal. Should this be true in
Wikipedia and other projects?
