Since we are no longer recording this information on card, perhaps it is cost efficient to merely “cut and paste” rather than take the time to edit. Has anyone ever discussed the issue since by now almost all data coming into a 670 is coming from an online source.

Ivan,

 

This is, I think, a cataloger gone somewhat amok.  This could have been made so much simpler:

 

670 Wikidata, January 10, 2020 ǂb (Sergio Elias Ortiz; Sergio Jaime Ortis; Sergio Ortis; country of citizenship: Colombia; birth: 1894-05-08, San Juan de Pasto; death: 1978-02-11, Bogotá; regional historian, author, university teacher, writer, politician; languages spoken or published: Spanish; member of Academia Colombiana de Historia; member of the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia; male) ǂu http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q5657312

 

There’s no need to cite identifiers, time of birth, descriptions in other languages, etc.  It was overkill and not a good example.  I’ve cited Wikidata a few times, but keep it short and sweet!

Hi all

I found on a search, the following 670 on several NARs. I would like to know the why is like this. If we use Wikidata to support information in the NAR, had no idea it is format like this. I normally use the info but in a more legible format to justify the 3XX. Any light on this, will be appreciated.

Ivan
