Line 4:
In the area of philosophy, and presumably several others (classics, etc.), we typically find it very useful to cite page numbers of standardized editions of an author's works as compiled in their original language, rather than specific English-language versions, and the former are usually listed along the margins of good scholarly editions. For instance, my edition of a work by Kant may describe his categorical imperative on p.73; yours might have it on p.7, or 213, or somewhere else. But if I cite it as "4:421" (volume 4, page 421, understood to be from the standard "Prussian Academy" edition of his works compiled many years ago), we can each look that up on our margins and quickly find that passage. Can we add a section specifying how and when this might be done?[[User:ScottForschler|ScottForschler]] ([[User talk:ScottForschler|talk]]) 17:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
== p. vs. pp. ==
I recently had another editor change my references which look like this:
:{{tlx|cite|...|p{{=}}300-305}} and {{code|Johnson, 2008, p. 300-305}}
to this:
:{{tlx|cite|...|pp{{=}}300–305}} and {{code|Johnson, 2008, pp. 300–305}}
Is there any guidance in [[WP:MOS]] or other Wikipedia-namespace pages on this point? I never use {{code|pp.}} and never thought twice about it. [[User:Daask|Daask]] ([[User talk:Daask|talk]]) 04:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
