Combining references

I feel that including the quotes is not necessary, so to combine the references I am removing the German quotes from Oswald. Nonetheless, here they are:

"Auch wirkt er optisch grösser als er ist, was viele Leute schätzen." (re apparent size)
"... sich bald herausstellte, dass die Ford-Werke den Taunus vollig unausgereift auf den Markt gebracht hat. Es dauerte Jahre, bis ein annehmbarer Reifegrad erreicht wurde. Strassenlage und Federungskomfort blieben unbefriedigend." (not fully developed when launched)
"Endlich Sicherheitslenksäule mit Teleskoprohr" (telescopic steering column)
"Immerhin brachte die neue Linienführung rundum größere Grasflächen und damit bessere Sicht nach allen Seiten, vor allem auch nach Rückwärts, wo nun beim Einparken das Heck im Blick blieb." (corners more visible, simplifying parking)
"Seine gesamte Konzeption machte einen vertrauenerweckenden Eindruck. Indes litt das Auto zu oft unter ärgerlichen Schwächen und Störungen." (more on lacking development)
"...werkseigene Sparvergaser, die allerdings zu vielen Klagen Anlass geben..." (silly economy carb)

Yes, you're not necessarily wrong. My thinking with this was based on the accessibility of the sources. If you go through the wiki sources for most entries, they mostly seem to divide between (1) on-line sources which are accessible (except the ones I check out always seem to lead to dead links or, which is worse, pay-walls) and (2) printed sources which are hard to get hold of unless you just happen to have gone into a book shop - often in a foreign land in the course of a trip doing something else - and bought one. But at least printed sources can be checked by anyone who can find a copy of whatever it was.

One version of the future - the future in which the good guys win a little victory - will be that somehow we find a way to have all the books that matter accessible on line but without destroying the financial incentive to publish the things. Which is a reconciling of opposites unless either the thing is so popular that the author/publisher are rich enough to be happy to share, and mark any notional loss of opportunity cost against the marketing budget - or so old that the author and publisher long ago died of old age, so no longer care about the rest of us gaining free access online to the full text.

I've no idea where all that is going, but it does crystallize my own thinking, and summarize roughly what I think was in my mind when I included little selective quotes to answer the question "huh?" Thoughts welcome as always!

Single Source Tag

This article seems at first glance to have an adequate number of inline citations but in reality most of those citations cite different parts of the same source, a book by Oswald Werner. TKOIII (talk) 17:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
