Article authors/dates please

Post by L number Banana »

Hi, would it be possible to date and give credit to the articles on this site? I think many people just assume it would be Jools when the author says "I" but we don't know for sure.
Also, looking at the article about Real or Fake Synos, I can't tell the date, am I just looking in the wrong spot? The date would be important so we could look at new info gathered since the article. It's obvious many authors are way too busy to update these so it would be helpful.

Cheers

All articles are credited. How do you mean?

I'll have a think about the date.

There were a few that I found while looking for info on S. petricola and s.lucipinnis, I'll post them as I find them again, thanks.

I don't see your own credit on this one though? Am I missing it somewhere?

Edit: Aha! :oops: Just realized that most of your articles for CotM don't have your name. Maybe you should give yourself credit for people who come across these articles by google and not PC? Maybe that's the only articles I saw as I can't find any others when I do the same search. Shane's, Birger's and HH's are all credited.

What's the policy for citing articles here - not posting or copying but referring?
Thanks

Indeed, a date would be handy in case I ever feel like citing something that's here. :beardy:

Looking into this, a lot of these are pre "dynamic era" Planet. So, the date isn't known. What then? Set them to 01/01/2002?
