While reading the opening essay, which muses on the titular concern of wonder, I initially felt that Bantjes's tendency toward sweeping generalities and lack of footnoting gave the essay a dismissably informal tone.

"The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki" may take its inspiration from the life of a real boxer, but you wouldn't know it from the film, which doesn't have any of the usual biographical footnoting.

Gibbon's work advocates a rationalist and progressive view of history. Gibbon's citations provide in- depth detail regarding his use of sources for his work, which included documents dating back to ancient Rome. The detail within his asides and his care in noting the importance of each document is a precursor to modern-day historical footnoting methodology. The work is notable for its erratic but exhaustively documented notes and research.

BYTE in 1984 criticized the documentation for Word 1.1 and 2.0 for DOS, calling it "a complete farce". It called the software "clever, put together well, and performs some extraordinary feats", but concluded that "especially when operated with the mouse, has many more limitations than benefits ... extremely frustrating to learn and operate efficiently". PC Magazine review was very mixed, stating "I've run into weird word processors before, but this is the first time one's nearly knocked me down for the count" but acknowledging that Word's innovations were the first that caused the reviewer to consider abandoning WordStar. While the review cited an excellent WYSIWYG display, sophisticated print formatting, windows, and footnoting as merits, it criticized many small flaws, very slow performance, and "documentation apparently produced by Madame Sadie's Pain Palace".

The view that Mozart was in near-steady decline and despair during the last several months of his life has met with skepticism in recent years. Cliff Eisen supervised the reissue of Abert's biography in 2007 in a new edition, supplementing it with numerous footnotes. While generally deferential to Abert, Eisen expresses sharp criticism in the footnoting of the section leading up to Mozart's death: In the main biography article of the Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia, Ruth Halliwell writes of the decline-and-despair account: As for why Constanze might have been "prompted by complicated motives both personal and financial" (Eisen), Halliwell contends that "Constanze and Sophie were not objective witnesses, because Constanze's continuing quest for charity gave her reasons to disseminate sentimental and sensationalist views."From Ruth Halliwell's article "Mozart" in The Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia, p. 332.

This has come to be considered a definitive book on the subject. In 2008, her book The use of classical art and literature by Victorian painters, 1860–1912 (2007), was described by Shelley Hales in Victorian Studies as "the first full overview of classical themes in Victorian art" and very useful for the undergraduate but suffering the consequences of being somewhat abbreviated with minimal footnoting and poor illustrations."Reviewed Work(s): The Use of Classical Art and Literature by Victorian Painters, 1860–1912: Creating Continuity with the Traditions of High Art by Rosemary Julia Barrow", Shelley Hales, Victorian Studies, Vol. 50, No. 3, Victorian Emotions (Spring, 2008), pp. 530–532. In 2010, Barrow contributed an essay on classicizing themes in the toga plays and tableaux vivants of London's late-Victorian and Edwardian popular stage shows to the Theatre Journal.

The Official Languages Ordinance of Hong Kong has always granted equal legal status to legislation in both Chinese and English. When the Chinese version of the National Security Law passed on June 30th in Beijing, there was no complete, Hong Kong official English version immediately available on the government website; only a 3-paragraph on the first page of the Chinese version footnoting the official English name of the law was gazetted on the website, and a separate English version published via GoogleDoc on Xinhua official website. Discrepancies between the two versions begin to surface after days of analyzing and comparing the two. Lawyer Alan Wong Hok-ming pointed out a few "poor translations" from article 9, 10, and 29, for example, where the word "Universities" were added in the English version that was not found in the Chinese version.

Accessed December 18, 2008. The rule was first implemented in the short-lived Players' League in 1890 and adopted by the National League and American Association of Base Ball Clubs in 1894, applying only if a fly ball could be handled by an infielder with a runner on first base occupied and only one out, with additional changes made in subsequent years.Evolution of 19th Century Baseball Rules, 19th Century Baseball. Accessed December 18, 2008. Stevens was fascinated by the incremental development of the rule and the way in which the rule's formal, step-by-step development mirrored the process by which the common law was created. The semi-parodic paper was thoroughly footnoted to show how the rule was needed in an era in which unseemly behavior was taking place that would not have been accepted in the sport's earlier gentlemanly age. In addition to its sometimes-humorous commentaries on baseball, the article is a parody of the style in which law review articles are generally written, such as their sometimes overly-formal wording and their often excessive use of footnoting.
