Baha'i texts, page numbering, sources, and editing.

Hi Jeff3000 :). <giggle> Anyway, I just saw your recent edits, and I'm really wondering about your page number edits. The reference edits are fine, but the page numbers were based on the e-text Word document downloaded from reference.bahai.org. We should discuss a policy about page number sources, before this gets too out of hand. Such a policy should ideally cover at least two things

1. What source will be used for page numbering
2. Do page numbers refer to the start or end of a page.

On point #2, I vote top of the page, since web-browsers (certainly firefox) will attempt to place the target at the top of the browser. If we make them bottom-of-page, then some of the page's text will already be scrolled off screen. On point one, we need to simply pick - reference.bahai.org/blah/blah/text.pdf, .../text.doc, or a particular paper published version, or some other. I have no strong preference, except that the electronic versions are easier to verify, since if we have access to wikipedia, then we have access to the reference site. -- Christian Edward Gruber 15:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok - that approach to page numbers works for me. I was working of the word doc. Let's go with your approach. I never finished the KI page references anyway, so it's good we consulted about it before I got all the way through. :) -- Christian Edward Gruber 15:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
