--- Comment #2 from Andy R <[email protected]> 2009-09-07 04:34:12 UTC --- I want to add that the system could look up the data mentioned by Mathias automatically when it is used in an article for the first time and could establish an own databases. Obviously there are such databases for ISBN, DOI, ... already as listed here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ISBN-Suche Another important aspect I want to stress: The usage of <ref isbn="123456789">This is a sentence.</ref> instead of today's This is a sentence.<ref>Miller (2005) ...</ref> is both XML conform and allows more precise referencing as reported here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18231 Both today's lengthy ref source codes (which could be a thing of the past after implementing ISBN, DOI, href support) and the imprecise implementation of referencing (bug 18231) is opposed to efforts of a reliable, trustworthy Wikipedia. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
