Okay, this has been bugging me but I haven't asked.  Since you (Dystopos) changed my citations on the [[Francis Falkenburg]] entry, I'll finally do so.  According to the [[Bhamwiki:Cite]] page, BhamWiki is to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_MLA_style_manual MLA style], but the style I see you using in your articles is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style APA style].  So which is it?  I have no strong preference, but would like consistency. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 13:08, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

* Let's go with APA. My thesis director didn't care, so I adopted sort of a personal style which, now that I look at it, is pretty much APA. I apologize for the misleading policy and for stalking. It's just so fun to read the recent changes and so tempting to edit them :-) --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 13:23, 11 October 2006 (PDT)
:: Okay, APA it is.  "Stalking" is not a problem.  I'm pretty sure I'm equally (if not moreso) guilty of that.  That's how corrections get made.  And there's only the handful of us to do that right now. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 13:54, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Citation style

Okay, this has been bugging me but I haven't asked. Since you (Dystopos) changed my citations on the Francis Falkenburg entry, I'll finally do so. According to the Bhamwiki:Cite page, BhamWiki is to use MLA style, but the style I see you using in your articles is APA style. So which is it? I have no strong preference, but would like consistency. --Lkseitz 13:08, 11 October 2006 (PDT)
