[edit]

Gulielmus Rosseus, there you go. The title is a bit awkward and so is the article itself but we can sort this out and rename the page if necessary. There is some information at WikiProject Bibliographies which might be helpful. Caius G. (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Caius G. Thanks for this. My plan for the moment is to expand the lead section by including more information about the body of work the section contains, i.e. what kind of writing it is and who Quentin Skinner is. For now I've just added that it contains interviews, articles, and books and that he is a British intellectual historian. On the note of articles, it seems that a larger list like this should probably include his articles, many of which have been as or more influential in his field than his books. I'll add a section for his articles, though if you don't think that that's the right thing to do please feel free to undo it. All the best, Gulielmus Rosseus (talk) 13:37, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Caius G. I've added what is I think an exhaustive list of his articles to the page. Am in the process of seeing how many links can be found for them but many will, I imagine, only be accessible for those with university institutional access. Am looking now at a more complete description for the page. All the best, Gulielmus Rosseus (talk) 14:02, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Have now added a longer description for the article. It's my first attempt at anything like this so if you had the time Caius G. I would appreciate some feedback. All the best, Gulielmus Rosseus (talk) 14:16, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gulielmus Rosseus, looks good so far, particularly the description! We could add more on the reception of his works, but that's probably more suited to the original article. I was wondering whether it would be sensible to divide the sections (particularly the article and book one) up into topic areas, for example "Hobbes", "General political theory" and "methods" (for works like "Philosophical analysis and the interpretation of texts"), similar to the Works by J. G. A. Pocock article. I'm not too familiar with Skinner so I'll leave it up for you to decide. Best, Caius G. (talk) 15:42, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
