Scattered References.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the dilemma faced by the indexer of what to do with scattered references. The topic appears on all these pages but the discussion is not continuous. The author has managed to chop it up by going off in many different directions. It is a shame that the majority of the population no longer has studied Latin. There are useful phrases that an indexer cannot use because of this loss. Some terms like "caveat" were used so frequently that people don't even think of them as Latin. It is just another "good ole" English word. It is possible that there will be more references yet to Australian gun violence, so another several can be added. The author's rationale here is that when a user goes to a page for a specific name, s/he must see that person referred to on the page. It is a much more exacting standard than coverage of a concept. Gun violence can be discussed without using the terminology so precisely. It is a concept, and although placing it in Australia narrows the concept, the author finds it acceptable to still deal with it more broadly.
