journal citations
lots of students who write termpapers rely on Misplaced Pages footnotes and citations so we need to follow WP:5P5 and avoid strange citation methods that are never used by historians and can only mislead and embarrass students if they try to copy them. Many journals have lots of "editors" and the standard practice at Misplaced Pages and in the academic media is to NOT include them in citations to articles in these journals. Likewise place of publication is notr used in citing journals. Rjensen (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
