Book Marks italic

Talk:Literary_Hub#Book_Marks_italic .. I'm advocating italicized, like most websites. Homed in the |work= or |website= field, where it is automatically italicized. It should also be wikilinked in the citation such as: Special:Diff/1275442650/1275443097

I removed something here Special:Diff/1275429649/1275442650 .. these consensus opinions since they don't tell you much. For example I notice book reviews on Amazon.com tend towards 4.4 on average (a high number nearly meaningless) while those on LibraryThing tends toward about 3.8 on average - a significant departure purely on which website the reviews are. And nobody knows what "Rave" means, in this context on Wikipedia, it reads like exaggeration. It could be more informative to say "..3 were positive, 4 mixed, and 1 negative". -- GreenC 02:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Italicized is a fantastic change. The consensus is useful for books with over 10 reviews such as "The Underground Railroad" with 32 reviews. For books with 5 such as "The Martian", I agree that the consensus is not helpful. Themashup (talk) 02:13, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Website names don't generally get italics, see IMDb and Facebook. The exception are (online) newspapers such as The Guardian and The Onion, but Book Marks is not a newspaper, so I don't think italics can be justified here. Gawaon (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for informing me. Themashup (talk) 10:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Sea Is My Brother, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The St. Petersburg Times.
