errors in the ref should apply to my argument.\u00a0 By using such a ref I am usually, but not always, supporting the reffed work or data.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: green\">Similar, Supporting, or Supported<\/span> ref : <em>Similar<\/em> &#8211; a ref that follows similar lines or makes similar arguments.\u00a0 <em>Supporting<\/em> &#8211; a ref that directly or implicitly supports an argument.\u00a0 <em>Supported<\/em> &#8211; a ref whose arguments I am directly or implicitly supporting; an example of what should be supported based on my argument.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: darkred\">Contrasting, Contradicting, or Counterproved<\/span> ref: <em>Contrasting<\/em> &#8211; a ref that follows very different lines or contrasting arguments.\u00a0 <em>Contradicting<\/em> &#8211; a ref that counters or disclaims an argument.\u00a0 <em>Counterproved<\/em> &#8211; a ref whose arguments I am countering,\u00a0 or which should be discounted based on my argument.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">Related, Canonical, or Hat-tip<\/span> ref: Related &#8211; a ref that touches on similar topics without being clearly similar or contrasting.\u00a0 Canonical &#8211; a ref that is considered standard reading on the subject.\u00a0 Hat-tip &#8211; a ref honoring the work of its author, though it is not necessarily considered standard reading by others (and could be either pro or con my argument).<\/li>\n<li>Unclassified ref : A reference that hasn&#8217;t been classified into one of the above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Phoebe noted later that another dimension of reference is the extent of text to which a ref refers&#8230; some apply to words or clauses, some to paragraphs, some to entire chapters.\u00a0 A &#8220;further reading&#8221; section is effectively a <span style=\"color: #666666\">Related ref<\/span> that applies to an entire section or work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The result of a hard hour&#8217;s work: &lt;now stored on the draft Reffer Madness wikipage&gt;
