The Vickers Vimy looks like Sikorsky's 1913 bombers (S-21, S-22). Maybe Sikosky was also working of an even earlier design. Anyone know the history of these large planes. DonPMitchell ( talk) 19:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

allows all the links to a certain source can be seen in the reflist at a glance.{{cite book <!--{{sfn|Bloggs|1978|p=}}--> |last=Bloggs |etc.
but again this is extra trouble for those with a lot to do.|author=Bloggs, Fred

and 99% of your problems will be solved. Other difficulties arise when people use |edition=1978 ed.
when the 1st edition is 1907: so use |date=1978
and |orig-date=1907
. I agree that {sfn}s simply involve more trouble and understanding to create than manual refs, and more troubleshooting when they don't work. There thus are thousands of articles with non-working {sfn}s, because people have simply misunderstood the meaning and import of various params: and how they lead into dereliction and darkness. These are listed at
Category:Harv and Sfn multiple-target errors and
Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors and can be identified by adding a script to common.js - but it can get quite tedious unless you are deliberately looking for such errors. All {cite book}s etc. now automatically create their own CITEREF without having to set |ref=harv
.That this is named after?
