About this web site's format:
You will note that we do not follow any of the above standards. We use a style all of our own. Our website was launched in 1995 during the infancy of the Internet. So we made up a style all our own. That is one of the nice features of the Internet: webmasters can make up their own rules.
We usually include the author's name and the date of the latest update at the bottom of each essay. However, this information is occasionally missing:
| The author of all essays on our site is Robinson, Bruce or B.A. Robinson unless noted. As one of the five volunteers in the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, he does all of the writing; the other three mainly do research and prioritize new topics. |
| To obtain the original date of publishing and/or the date of the most recent update, please Email us |
We strongly recommend a 4 digit code for the year and the inclusion of the name of the month. Dates like 1-2-3 can be quite confusing, whereas 2001-FEB-3 or Jan 2, 2003 are much less ambiguous. We use the former -- a hangover from our main author's computing days when he cited dates and times as 2006-JUN-01 12:23:45. This made computer sorting much easier.
