Hello, I’m @[[User:Spectrallights|Spectrallights]]. This message is in regards to an edit you made on the page ''[[Wrong Is Right]]''. I saw that you added a review from ''[[The New Republic]]''{{'}}s Stanley Kauffmann. However, the URL you provided for the source was simply http://www.newrepublic.com. Wikipedia's [[Help:Citation Style 1#Online sources|citation guides]] state that "Links should be to full versions of the source." It is fine if a direct link cannot be found, but the citation should include as much info that is available of the source. For example, if you know the date of the review, volume number of the magazine issue, etc. then those should be included as part of the reference. Date of access is not necessary if a direct link cannot be located. I edited the reference to remove the broad URL to ''The New Republic''{{'}}s homepage and the date of access. If you have any questions or think I made a mistake, feel free to leave a message on my [[User talk:Spectrallights|talk page]].
