ProQuest

When the report was accessed it was accessed through ProQuest. You are more than welcome to add an ID, but it is not required. The empty ProQuest ID templates throw an error that causes further cleanup edits behind you to fix. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:01, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. A few points: 1. If an editor says the citation is "via ProQuest" they should provide the ProQuest data that will verify where the ProQuest citation can be found. (1.a. How do we encourage editors to actually verify such data?) 2. When the "id=" is in the citation, nothing shows up in the article reference listing because there is no actual data in the listing portion of the "id=" parameter. 3. Example: I just now added "|id={{ProQuest|via= }}" to Olive Smithells. I do not see any error message or any listing in the hidden categories. 4. In the particular case that you reverted, I think the error message was generated by a different item in the multiple edits you reverted. 5. Egad! I hope my understanding of what I did is correct. – S. Rich (talk) 22:09, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
