/* Editorial Preferences */ add small dates
<li>Serial commas in all situations &mdash; alpha, beta, and gamma.</li>
<li>Quantities of twenty or fewer are spelled out as words, larger amount as digits. Exceptions are for ages, dates, and perhaps others.</li>
<li>Date format is day month year &mdash; 18 August 1957 (18 Aug 1957 in genealogies and tables).</li>
<li>Notes shall be numbered sequentially throughout each article. Multi-part articles should use continuing numbering when all parts are by the same author. Occasional exceptions apply, as with exceedingly long articles like the Germond series.</li>
<li>If footnotes are used with a Bibliography, the footnotes shall be in brief format, "Author, YearShort title, p. 00vol:page" with full details in the Bibliography. Note that this approach works poorly with web sources, and is discouraged when these are used.</li>
<li>Notes are referenced by numerals within square brackets in text &mdash; [1], not superscript <sup>1</sup>.</li>
