Talk:George Winterton

Publications

The Publications list is several times longer than any other I have seen in WP. Would anyone object to removing all except the books? Wikiain (talk) 02:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

There having been no objections, this has been done. Wikiain (talk) 00:15, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 05:15, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

On second thought, I have created a separate bibliography article and retrieved the items previously removed from the Publications list in 2014. Sunwin1960 (talk) 05:31, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

I regret to have to disagree. George Winterton was a fine scholar and a fine man, but this is an encyclopaedia entry, not a biography. It should be comparable with other WP articles about a scholar, which, even for the most renowned, list only their principal publications. I think the list need not be confined to books, but could include other publications that made a notable impact. Nor, however, might every book merit inclusion. I can't find specific guidance on this, but for a living scholar full information about their publications is ordinarily provided through a link to their homepage; compare George Williams (lawyer). So I would prefer to return here to a single article listing only books, possibly with the addition of any other publications that made a notable impact. Wikiain (talk) 00:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
