Talk:Rosina Revelle

Years active

The biobox says she started in 1954, but the article text mentions 1957. Which year is better? Are there sources? Prophecy 00:43, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

1957 was when she worked with Russell Gay and appeared in QT magazine. Apara 00:54, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

So we have no prove that she started in 1954? I could not find it in the references. Prophecy 01:06, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

THE 60sGLAM DATABASE OF BRITISH GLAMOUR MODELS OF THE 1960S says "From late 1956 To 1959" and speculates she was 16 when she began modeling. Dekkappai 01:12, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

Citations

Well, here we have a disagreement: I think those bare URL / name citations look terrible. We should either use the templates, or have them in such a format that they provide the info a template gives. We're trying to improve this, after all, aren't we? Dekkappai 01:15, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

Also, while we're on the subject, I firmly believe in listing all sources separately, duplicating the References / Footnote section. This functions as a Bibliography, the "References" function as footnotes. This is common citation style. Dekkappai 01:17, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

To clarify: The style I like best is a "Bibliography" listing all the sources used in the article, listed alphabetically by author-- common citation style. And the "References" (Notes, really) with the Author (year), then page number if it's a print source. Only listing "References"-- notes listed basically randomly, whenever they're cited in the text-- without some sort of organized listing of sources used in the article seems outright wrong to me.
