[edit] Sources for Asteroid Names
I have paper copies of the Minor Planet Circulars from 1978 to the mid-1990s, with the actual citations for all asteroids named during this time span. As such, they are the 'definitive' citations. I've been adding and correcting some of the entries here and in other sections. How do I prove that I'm using the original sources if they are not accessible with links, because I'm not going to spend a bunch of my time doing this work and then have others question if the citations are correct?
