Style removed? University of South Australia 2011 (Harvard)
Can someone help explain why University of South Australia 2011 (Harvard) has been removed from the style repository?
I went to use Zotero 4.1 with the University of South Australia 2011 (Harvard) style, but it came back with Harvard - University of South Africa because of the automatic style updating feature. This doesn't help me at all and I need my style back.
Any idea where I can get more information on this deletion?

Only the 2007 UNISA style was removed - it was based on a style guide that's no longer available and presumably no longer valid.
Thanks
(ideally, universities would stop calling their citation styles after another university, or even better, just adopt a common citation style)
<link href="http://www.unisa.edu.au/ltu/students/study/referencing/harvard.pdf" rel="documentation"/>
still shows it is from Australia.
Sadly University of South Australia has not adopted a common citation format but have developed their own. As a student I can only play the game not change the rules. You say it is called after another university? It was never an African citaton style. (EDIT: I assume you mean naming after Harvard upon my reread.)
Do you acknowledge that there has been a misinterpretation of 'UNISA' when the clean up was done? I have no problem with the clean up, or removal of the year of effect, I just need it to read South Australia again not South Africa.

The University of South Australia has updated to the latest Australian style manual (AGPS/AGIMO) Harvard Style as used by the University of Queensland. Report and book chapter styles are incorrect and I have to always fix them manually. If you could please update the style that would be great. Everyone currently uses the University of Queensland guide as the main reference for the style:

I'm not really interested in maintaining university specific styles beyond the most simple fixes, personally I think they just need to go away.
aurimas, the details are as follows
For 'chapter in a book'/book chapter you cannot enter the authors of the book itself hence the it comes out like this:
Appleby, PG & Oldfield, F 1992, ‘Application of lead-210 to sedimentation studies’, in Uranium-series disequilibrium: Applications to earth, marine and environmental sciences., Claredon, Oxford, pp. 731–778.
But you must include editor names for an edited book where the full reference should then look like this:
Appleby, PG & Oldfield, F 1992, ‘Application of lead-210 to sedimentation studies’, in Ivanovich M & Harmon S (eds.), Uranium-series disequilibrium: Applications to earth, marine and environmental sciences, Claredon, Oxford, pp. 731–778.

but the format of the citation won't be quite right. (it puts eds before the editors rather than (eds) after them).
@Lubos, just so that we know for sure that the UniSA style requires it, can you give a quote that describes the requirement? (or point us to it?)
@Rintze: Sure. It says the following in the 2013 revision of the UniSA style guide, pg.10 (notice the position of "eds" in the in-text citation - cs:label in front of cs:name, both within cs:substitute):
Edited (ed.), revised (rev.) or compiled (comp.) book with 2 or 3 editors:
Kronenberg, Pollard and Sakellariou (eds 2011) are interested in providing a framework for…
…is included in this framework (eds Kronenberg, Pollard & Sakellariou 2011).
EDIT: that first in-text citation can only be done using a manual "Prefix" anyway, since "Suppress author" will remove the label as well :(
