Sample citation formats
by Bence Damokos 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Hi, Thank you for giving me access to the Credo reference suite. I have been looking around the Credo site and I noticed that each entry has a very useful module for different citation formats. I think there might be two slight enhancements to this module. The first would be to embed the citation data in the page in a computer readable format so it could be picked up by Zotero and similar citation managing programs. I think this would be extremely useful without having any effects on site usability, design or content. (This would enhance the built-in feature to export saved results in different citation formats and for different citation managers.) It might also be good if among the citation formats there would be an extra option for Wikipedia. This would be useful for those of us that have received the accounts but might also encourage non-Wikipedians doing research on Credo to turn to improve the relevant Wikipedia article. This second improvement might be a bit more difficult to do as it would probably need assistance from the Wikimedia community to explain the citation format and to write some specific help pages for those who come to Wikipedia from Credo. Note that this is not as important as the first proposed improvement as Zotero can produce the Wikpedia and other citation and bibliography formats on demand. Best regards, Bence Damokos

Search results limited to 200?
by Wolfram Schmied 27 Mar '10

When I search for "paradox", I get 1394. Browsing won't work past 200 entries. I can work around by performing narrower searches, but that is a bit awkward. Any chance of this being fixed? Regards Paradoctor -- "A Paradox May Be Paradoctored" Robert Anson Heinlein, "All You Zombies", 1959

Saving search results
by Wolfram Schmied 27 Mar '10

Instead of a checkbox, I'd rather see a button or link. Also, checking off results becomes quickly tedious if you want to save a large set of results. I'd like a button to save all results of a given search, or at least all results on the current page. And ten results per page is not enough, for me at least. It would be good if that could be user-configured. Regards Paradoctor -- "A Paradox May Be Paradoctored" Robert Anson Heinlein, "All You Zombies", 1959

Welcome to the mailing list to discuss the Credo Reference account program. You should have received a separate welcome message when you were subscribed. As per that message, this mailing list accompanies the program at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Credo_accounts In addition to all account recipients, I've added John Dove, President of Credo Reference, to the subscribers. The list is publicly archived and open to new, interested subscribers. I hope that it can eventually become a general forum for discussing such programs. All best, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

changing the password
by Amir E. Aharoni 27 Mar '10

Hello, First of all, i would like to thank Credo Reference for giving us this wonderful tool. I have a basic technical question: Is it possible to change the password that we received? I couldn't find anything like "profile", "preferences", "account settings", etc. Thanks in advance. -- אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי Amir Elisha Aharoni http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
