Bibliography of Colin Wilson

I have just created a new article called Bibliography of Colin Wilson and have copied all of the content from the Bibliography here to that page. I suggest the Bibliography section on this page be shortened to his "major works" and have the rest of them on the Bibliography page. I will commence doing this myself in the next few days if no one has any objections. OlduvaiGeorge (talk) 19:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review Comments

Comments from Shudde

I don't have time for a full review right now (will try and remember to give a more comprehensive one later), but I've got a few brief comments:

The lead is very brief and should be expanded. It needs to adequately summarise the article.
The bibliography seems to be a copy of Bibliography of Colin Wilson and doesn't seem to add all that much. It's also unreferenced
There is a large list of further reading and external links. I'm not sure what purpose these serve. If some can be used as references then I encourage that (with appropriate inline citations), but otherwise it may be worth cutting those lists. (see MOS:FOOTERS)

That's all I have for now. -- Shudde ^talk 11:58, 6 July 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.39.36.42 (talk) [reply]

Add

This page seems to be a member of an awful lot of Wikiprojects. Suggest removing ones that are tangentially related and just making mention of any that specifically relate to Colin, if this is at all possible. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
