Interesting formatting choices [13 March 2009]

As I'm working on converting (redirecting) MySources to Sources, I'm on the "G"s and got here.

I see that whoever set this up chose NOT to use the fields for repository, etc., but chose to put all of the data into the TEXT field. Interesting choice. And frankly, I prefer how it looks, but are we messing anything up by doing it this way?

This source was one of the early attempts to "do one right" (being used quite a lot). I think the reason for the difference is really a side effect of being created before the recent additions of explicit repository and other page-specific fields.--Jrm03063 10:31, 13 March 2009 (EDT)
