Could someone verify that the term "Cinderella book" is also found in:

Guy L. Steele, Eric S. Raymond, eds. (1996). The New Hacker's Dictionary (3rd ed.). MIT Press. ISBN 0-262-68092-0.

Then we could replace the reference to the Jargon file with a reference to its printed version (i.e. The new Hacker's Dictionary). (For encyclopedic articles it is always preferred to cite printed sources.) Hermel (talk) 22:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This section is plagiarism, a direct quote from The Jargon File. It needs to be quoted and sourced appropriately.

The back cover of the Cinderella edition is also mentioned in the article. Is an image of it worthwhile? (I can provide one.) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 21:04, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are two links to the Jargon File - one in references and one in external links, although the URLs are different. Should these be combined? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:19, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
