Citations?
[edit]The page in the Prop Building Guidebook that this article points to has nothing to do with Weapons masters. And the information that is being cited doesn't seem to be found anywhere in the Prop Building Guidebook. Eqqman (talk) 15:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Read the paragraph toward the bottom of the page, it uses the term "armorer" to cite some of what is in the article. --Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, I see it. That's on page 7 of the print book. Should the citation be changed to reflect the fact that the information is found on page 21 of the e-book? Because the citation currently makes it look like it is referencing the print edition. - Eqqman (talk) 14:25, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
