# Talk:Portland Castle

I'm keen to take this article up to Good Article status. As part of that, I'd like to alter the citation style. 
The current style takes the form of long citations for books, with single "p"s for multiple pages and no mention of authors, only the publisher, and no location or ISBN number; and the cite web template for web pages, using date-month-year style date formats. I'd like to use the harvnb template, using the author's name, with automatic linking to a new bibliography section with full information on the volume, and cite web template with the mode=cs2 applied, with day-month-year formatting.
As examples:

a) a book citation such as "English Heritage (2000). Portland Castle. English Heritage. p. 10, 11." would look like "Lawson 2000, pp. 10-11". The full version in the bibliography would appear as: "Lawson, Susannah (2000). Portland Castle, Dorset. London, UK: English Heritage. ISBN 9781850747253.".
b) a web citation such as ""The Garden at Portland Castle". English Heritage. Retrieved 2014-08-17." would look like ""The Garden at Portland Castle", English Heritage, retrieved 17 August 2014".
With a large number of citations coming from the same source, I think this would look cleaner and be easier to edit. As per WP:CITEVAR, however, it would require prior consensus on this page. Thoughts welcomed! Hchc2009 (talk) 07:35, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
