Citations are not links to bookseller's websites[edit]

Two of the citations for this article are links to books available from booksellers websites. One book is even a curated extract of Wikipedia articles! These links are not appropriate as citations as the sources fail verification. If you are going to give the booksellers webpage as a URL, then cite the book the webpage is about and give me the ISBN number, Author, Title, Publisher, Date and Place of publication. This information is usually printed in the front of the book on or after the title page and before the table of contents, if any. Then cite the page number(s) where you found the information. If you do that, I don't need to consult any bookseller's website, except to read a preview, as I can find the book through a public library. However, don't cite a book that says it uses Wikipedia as its source, because the information in such a book comes from this article and cannot be used to verify this article in the first place. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:57, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
