"Sources and Notes"

@Fajr18: When you copied the "Notes" section from No Heaven for Gunga_Din you should have also copied the separate "Sources" section. You might note that "Sources" contains the "full citations" that describe the sources used. These citations (usually done with the {{citation}} or {{cite xxx}} templates) are "full" in that they contain all bibliographic details helpful in identifying, describing, or locating the source. And generally there is only a single full citation per source per article.

In the "citation style" I established in No Heaven for Gunga_Din (which you have incorporated here) "short cites" are used in the text as the "in-line" citations to connect the material to source it came from. These are usually in the form of the author's name plus a year, such as "Nematpour 2013". (Here I also used an acronym for the Mirdrekvandi's book, as is it includes material by multiple authors.) Short cites can also specify where within the source the material is found. E.g.: Zaehner 1992, p. 65, and Zaehner 1992, p. 75. Short cites can be inserted directly in the text, but are usually found (along with any other comments) in the "notes". You may have noticed that here short cites are implemented using various forms of the {{Harvnb}} template, which automatically adds a link to the full citation. But they do need to have the full citations there in order to link to them.

Let me know if you have any questions. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Re slow-motion edit war

@JJMC89: per WP:BRD, please explain why you insist on removing the book-cover image Image:No Heaven for Gunga Din-Dutton.png. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:40, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Policy trumps an essay. My edit summary and policy are quite clear about what is wrong with using that image in this article. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:59, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

1) Edit summaries are NOT the proper place for discussion. Please explain here your basis for deleting the image.

2) Just spoutng "WP:NFCC" and "No valid WP:NFUR" multiple times is NOT clear, and unuseful, particularly as there is an NFUR, and you didn't say (four times) which NFCC violation is applicable to this image. "10c" is much better (why couldn't you have done that the first time?), but still ambiguous, and I will trouble you to specify here exactly what part you find deficient. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:03, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
