Error in Project Mailer but not in sandbox

This error:

unknown error
unknown error486×151 7.42 KB

only shows up when I paste the project in the final Project Mailer box for my remediation page, not when I’m working in my sandbox.

I’ve looked at examples and everything seems to match what the example articles do. So I don’t know why I am getting the error.

I also sent you an email about a bunch of in line citations that were not put in the works cited.

Hello! I had a similar issue come up when I pasted my final edit from my sandbox. I believe it was the same error message at the bottom of my page.
My problem is that some of my citations weren’t connected to where they needed to be linked to the works cited. A couple of them got complicated, but some were just spelling errors or I had incorrectly entered the information on the {{sfn= }}.

I looked yours over and I didn’t click through all of them, but on the first citation it looks like the year is 2010, but in the works cited it’s 1999:

{{sfn|Lambkin|2010|p=12}}

  • {{cite book |last=Lambkin |first=David John |date=1999 |title= Playboy’s First Year: A Rhetorical Construction of Masculine Sexuality |url= |location= |publisher=‘‘Dissertations and Thesis: A&I ProQuest’’ Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College |pages= |ref=harv }}

You could try {{sfn|Lambkin|1999|p=12}}

But, if this specific in-line citation was part of the bigger issue of not being in the works cited, this may not apply. Hope this helps! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Maggie. I’ll go look. And this would not be connected to the bigger issue. That issue is how specific issues of the Playboy magazine is mentioned over fifty times, and in-line cited, but it is not listed at all in the works cited… which seems intentional and makes me hesitate to go tracking them all down to add them.

Thank you again @Maggiemrogers !! It took a few hours of meticulous searching, but your suggestion was right! There was some in line citations that didn’t match the works cited. The error is gone now, Whew!

I’m getting this error too, now that I pasted the rest of the material into my Article page. How can I tell which entries are a problem?

I went thru and clicked on each one in the citation list. The ^ to make sure it went somewhere, and the author name, to make sure it went down to a citation. The ones that did nothing when I clicked, are the ones who had a typo.
