@drandrewv2 @Edent I find using page numbers very useful for books (not generally articles) mainly published long before the web. Lots of humanities (& some biology) data is in giant books where this approach is useful.

A more radical suggestion is that papers should be succinct as possible, the "“Monotremes oviparous, ovum meroblastic”" telegram of 1884 probably represents the lower limit.

Picture shows Mill ex. Moench (1770: 229), a contested 1st description of London Plane

The first description of the London Plane using Linnaean taxonomy, by Otto von Münchhausen. An example of where a page citation within a scientific work is useful. The validity of this name is contested because it might not contain enough descriptive detail to separate the London Plane from other trees in the genus.
