Hello again Eleanor,

The same problem still exists with this page that Diane Farsetta described below. Using an insitution's home page as a reference for specific information is not acceptable referencing. We need the URL of the page that confirms the actual information you stated in the article.

I reformatted a reference or two for you to use as examples. Please go back and edit the existing references to make them 1) more specific, and 2) to comply with our format, so they show correctly down below the article in the "References" section.

Thank you!

Anne Landman, CMD Editor

Hello Eleanor,

I just moved much of the text from the Cynthia Anne Marie Boaz article to the associated "talk" page, and wanted to explain why.

The problem is that the references link to the named institution's home page -- for example, sonoma.edu (and nothing else) to source Boaz's position at the college. Not only is that reference incomplete, it simply confirms that Sonoma has a website -- not that Boaz teaches there. A proper reference for that would include a direct link to her profile on the Sonoma website.

Please see SourceWatch:References for details on how to correctly source information. And feel free to ask me or SourceWatch editor Bob Burton if you have questions.

thanks,
