No way to cite personal/telephone/etc. interviews #7

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 11 years ago

There doesn't seem to be a type suited for personal, telephone and similar interviews, nor does there appear to be a way to work around the issue as there is no generic type.

Ideas?

jmclawson commented 11 years ago

This is certainly something that I need to add. I might recommend temporarily using the @unpublished, as it's conceptually similar and as it has some flexibility other entrytypes might otherwise lack. I'll need to take a closer look at this problem, but I think it should be something I could add for the next version.

I too would like to see this feature implemented.

In the meantime what would you recommend for this situation?

shameless help-request

@WChargin, Yikes. You commented on an old issue in the middle of my semester, and you asked me about a different issue altogether. I'm sorry I missed the request—but I can also see how I happened to miss it.

Was your question answered sufficiently over on Stackexchange? Gonzalo Medina's approach seems right to me, and it in part explains why I've undefined @misc entrytypes: Most things are something, and @misc ends up a messy junk drawer of things that belong elsewhere. I'm still working on creating a good home for interviews, though.

After long last, I've finally implemented this in 2.0, which is readying for release.
