Sugit, about your last fix: your logic is clear to me. However, if you omit all and look at the sentence without references, you will see that the dot mark duplicates a question mark. I do not know how grammatics right in English, but in Russian - only one of these marks to complete the sentence.

The question mark is part of the book's title. The period is part of the sentence. If we would leave ONLY a question mark, then it is unclear if that question mark is part of the title, or if the sentence is a question. That's why I am breaking the rule here. --[[User:Sugit|Sugit]] ([[User talk:Sugit|talk]]) 12:34, 28 July 2017 (UTC) | |||

Sugit, about your last fix: your logic is clear to me. However, if you omit all and look at the sentence without references, you will see that the dot mark duplicates a question mark. I do not know how grammatics right in English, but in Russian - only one of these marks to complete the sentence. Dot mark is already a question mark, is it? ;)--DhyanAntar 06:02, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
