A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles.

Citation style

Hello, I came across some of your recent citation style revisions to several articles & the related Talk page conversations you had about citation style consensus. I'd like to understand more about sfn versus ref style. Do you have a moment to share more of your thoughts? Do people ever mix citation styles, from what you've seen? Is sfn really unpopular? Personally I like sfn, but I don't want to get attached to a style if most editors don't use it. Thanks for your time. Chao Garden 🌱 (hi) 05:50, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I like to use sfn for books and journal articles (that have page numbers), and not when citing newspaper articles (that don't have page numbers). So yes, the references section would be mixed, very often. Hope that helps. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
