Sourcing edit

The sourcing on this article which was added yesterday may look adequate, but it isn't. Click on the links under "sources". A citation link is supposed to lead directly to the source of the information. These links don't.

I disagree. For sources in archive.org, that is just how it works - documents open in the middle, and you use the search function (just above the document, on the right) to search for the word(s). For Google Books sources, a link with the search expression could be used, but if not, the search window in the result brings up the relevant page. Offline and paywalled sources are acceptable per WP:SOURCEACCESS, and these are much more easily accessible than that. They WP:NEXIST. Anyone can easily find them (and could easily have found them in a WP:BEFORE search). RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
