A remark on citing online sources.

Incorporated John Pardon's suggestion on other good practices of referencing.

| Nov 29, 2017 at 2:14 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | @GHfromMO ah, the irony of not giving proper references in a post about referencing. I added a wikipedia link for EGA (containing DOIs for almost all volumes) and a direct link to the Stacks project. | |

Added — haha — references.

| Nov 29, 2017 at 1:49 | comment | added | GH from MO | Great answer! As an outsider to algebraic geometry, can you say a few words about the Stacks project, or perhaps provide a link to it? Thanks in advance. | |
| Nov 28, 2017 at 20:50 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | @JohnPardon: totally agree. Perhaps Serre's How to write mathematics badly should be mandatory viewing (imprecise references is one of the examples given). | |
| Nov 28, 2017 at 20:12 | comment | added | John Pardon | +1 great answer. Let me add that it's also helpful to state precisely the result being used/cited! (you wouldn't think this would need to be said, but apparently it does . . .). If a citation is omitted or not so easily accessible, then it's often easy for a reader to look up (or ask about, or prove for themselves) the result in question, provided it has been stated clearly in the paper. This is actually near the top of my list of complaints about citations, not stating precisely the result being cited. | |
