Talk:Repnin Sejm

Open question

Hi all! Just wondering if it's a good idea to cite using to Google Books like this instead of traditional endnotes. Sure this way is more convenient for casual research than traditional citations and it saves on clutter. I worry that publishers might get prickly in the future about having multiple links to books. Does Google have some kind of security method to prevent people from reading whole books through outside links? Also, are the URLs fixed, or might they change over time and become unusable? (playing the "devil"'s advocate.) -Wiccan Quagga 11:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I admit I did it as a 'shortuct' - it saves time. In my more fleshed out articles, approaching PR or FAC status, I now use proper inline citations - but always try to link to the specific page(s) in the Google Print. Publishers are already 'prickled' with Google, and us using their service here is not going to change it much. On the other hand, I believe that use of such refs on Wikipedia is a both a great exmaple of how useful Google Print can be and a great boon for Wikipedia:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check. And yes, Google has a security method to prevent people from reading the entire book (although I hope such restrictions will be lifted in a few years... but that requires a changes in the copyright law and is a subject for an entire separate debate :)). Finally, I don't know if the urls may change in time: I have not seen it happen yet and I hope if does not, as it would render the entire referencing with GP idea moot.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Repnin in Warsaw : from 1763

In the page Repnin Sejm, Repnin seems to be sent to Warsaw around 1766; but the page Nikolai Vasilyeich Repnin says clearly that he was sent in 1763 (the year of Augustus III's death and before the election of 1764).
