Style error: Obesity

Mette Bliddal
Hi. I would like to use the style format of Obesity for citation in a paper. In the instructions from Obesity it is stated:

"Please give the names of all authors, unless there are more than 6 authors, in which case, please list only the first 6 authors, followed by et al. "

See: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/(ISSN)1930-739X/asset/homepages/Obesity_Author_Guidelines_March_2015.pdf?v=1&s=3f827c81efa95eda2a4acd1dfec80143f808963b&systemMessage=Wiley+Online+Library+will+be+unavailable+for+up+to+3+hours+on+Saturday+19th+March+2016+from++11%3A00-14%3A00+GMT+%2F+07%3A00-10%3A00+EDT+%2F+19%3A00-22%3A00+SGT+for+essential+maintenance.++Apologies+for+the+inconvenience.&isAguDoi=false

However, the style output in Zotero lists only the first three authors, followed by et al.

Can somebody help me?

Regards Mette

    we were following published articles, which tend to be more reliable indications of journal styles. At least when we made the style, those used et al. after three names, such as
    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.20821/pdf

    If that's no longer the case, I'm happy to change it, but journals and particularly Wiley ones are often very sloppy with their author guidelines, so the key would be what they do in a 2016 article

    Thank you! You are absolutely right. The latest papers also have three names et al. Thus: Do as they do, not as they say.
