Some inline citations are still ambiguous
This article cites several books and articles by J. Shoshani, but it has several inline citations that only include the author's name and a page number. Is it possible to identify the sources of these ambiguous citations? Jarble (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They are all from the same book. LittleJerry (talk) 18:56, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The sfn template might be useful here, since it can be used to disambiguate these inline citations. I assume that these page numbers are from Elephants: Majestic Creatures of the Wild, and not from the other articles by J. Shoshani that were cited here. Jarble (talk) 17:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Correct. LittleJerry (talk) 23:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

 * @Ukiws: X mark.svg Not done through this request process. A general article talk page suggestion that others must figure out where to place and secondarily compose, addressed to those interested in an article, is a fine use of a talk page post, which this still stands as, but is not the function of a request drawing third-party, CAT:ESP responders. Rather, edit requests for protected articles like this one need to ask for implementation of an exact, appropriate edit that the requester would make themselves but for the protection that stops them from doing so. As such, they should be highly specific; something an editing chimpanzee could follow, For example: " .--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:05, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
