Randykitty: Thanks for your
message at my talk page. In response to your request to take it to the talk page: My
with the edit summary "consistent citation formatting" was reverted in this
with the edit summary "[as] far as I can see, referencing WAS consistent, revert unnecessary edit". My first edit was partially restored in this
with the edit summary "what was inconsistent was the formatting of first names,
Vancouver style formatting insures a consistent format". Hence the rationale for the reversion is debatable. In addition, I have made additional edits, such as removing redundant
PMC prefixes and redundant URLs from citations with DOIs and adding refbegin/refend templates. As a compromise, I have
left in place the |first=
, |last=
parameters and added |name-list-format=vanc
.
What WP:CITEVAR says is not to change the original established citation style but also says that it is generally considered helpful to impose one style on an article with inconsistent citation styles. Before my first edit, there was no consistent first author style. After my edit, there was a consistent stye. Furthermore the only difference between the initially established CS1 mixed style and the consistent Vancouver style is the removal of commas and periods from initials and the replacement of semicolons with commas.
