"Articles" in bibliography

[edit]

Schmidt has written more than 215 editorials for Analog (as shown by the ISFDB listing), plus many other essays and articles. Listing all of these would grossly overburden the article. Listing just two seems to give undue importance to those two, which are not referenced in the body of the article. I propose to delete the editorials from this section. 129.42.208.186 (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

@Sunwin1960: Changes like this aren't at all helpful. There may be a standard that puts titles in lower case, but Wikipedia doesn't use it. As for the other changes, opinions can differ on use of {{cite book}} vs. plain text and on lists vs. tables, but consistent usage is the most important thing. Changing a few items in the hopes that other people will convert the rest of the bibliography to your preferred style isn't reasonable. Dan Bloch (talk) 15:05, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
