Revision as of 16:35, 6 March 2006
Refs to FZ's first wife refer to Kay Sherman, as does FZ in TRFZB. So is Kaye Sherman a typo on FO cover or someone else entirely?
FO is full of typos, so... --Emdebe 08:57, 30 May 2005 (PDT)

Release dates, ways to cite sources and External Links
Emdebe recently underlined that we need to cite our sources. I guess this might be a good opportunity in order to gain more credit.
However I also have to underline that:
- I do not particularly trust the release dates and numbers published in the ZFT Official Discography. And I do not think we need to discuss on every page about how they sometimes change the release dates/release order. Should we use the first observed shipping date or the deadlines the ZFT use in their past and future roadmaps ? In the last version (see last .pdf available at zappa.com - The Official Frank Zappa Website), they simply removed London Symphony Orchestra Vol. I which was previously release #38 and then they shifted (sometimes worse) the following numbers until #48. Also they are they only people in the world to say that WOIIFTM was released in September 1968...
- We need to follow consistent format and style, this is what I attempted to do with Anchors in the Article page Notes section. Any comment is welcome ;-) For any reason it was not possible to apply the Wikipedia guidelines described in Wikipedia:Citing sources & Wikipedia:Footnotes
- I always prefer to redirect to the External Links page rather than directly pointing to the site URL. So we have only one place to update in the case of any Internet address change.
