Talk:RefWorks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RefWorks is a legitimate instance of the category of citation management software. I posted a very skeletal page that should have been tagged as a 'stub' so that suffered 'speedy deletion.'

I'm new to wiki (at least I registered) so I need to do a better job formatting the page to avoid speedy deletion.

I have posted a new page formatted to indicate it is a software-stub. --Birdbrainscan 16:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reverting strange edit

I'm going to revert the last change which simply put the entire article in quotation marks. Birdbrainscan 04:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deleted all I had added

OK, I will admit that I am a fan of RefWorks and felt that the article in its current state does hardly provide sufficient information to do this tool justice, so I added information on a key new component (Write-N-Cite III) and the new ability to attach files to references. This made someone threaten deletion, which I find unjust, but since I am not "big enough" of a user I just deleted all I had added, except for one essential line about full-text linking. As it isn't an inherit feature of RefWorks, but one that is lent to RefWorks by adding an institutional OpenURL resolver.

So anyhow, I think it should be permissible to add details on features of a software, not because it is promotion, but because it describes the product more appropriately. Especially if those additions are fair and balanced and point out limitations that the normal marketing literature of a corporation would not include. I had made sure to include those.
