Adding citations[edit]
Hi. Thanks for these. Could you please avoid linking interesting words in the cited text, though (like post-chaise in your Dickens citation)? We have a policy of not linking words in such text, I suppose because it might give the misleading impression that the person being cited had written it that way.

- Sure, no problem. I'm from an environment where interlinking is promoted, but your explanation is cool. - Davecrosby uk 00:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hiya. Another thing: from what I've seen, we tend to put citations under the lemma form, so that citations for "flying" and "flew" would usually be placed under (deprecated template usage) fly — after all, it's the same verb. I doubt this is a hard-and-fast rule; just saying. Equinox ◑ 01:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I see how this is used at fly. Do you have an example word that I've edited where I could have done similar? - Davecrosby uk 01:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- I noticed it at (deprecated template usage) lurves. Equinox ◑ 01:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, and that uses the Citations Page, which I guess is something else. Ok, I'll try and watch out for this, thanks. - Davecrosby uk 01:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
