Citations

edit

If you haven't seen this yet, please check out User:Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool. Given a PubMed ID, one can quickly produced a full citation that can be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. This will save you an enormous amount of work and insures that the citations are displayed in a consistent manor. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Boghog

Hopefully this will encourage more users to cite sources - I think this is the main limitation of wikipedia at the moment. Thanks very much for spotting me!

Being surprised by the long link (I must confess, I did not believe it was a serious link), I noticed that it indeed is a working link, but .. it does not lead to a document, but to a page behind a login for your (?) uni. I expect the actual document to be on ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, maybe there is a link which does not run through the login? Or a doi? Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
