General sources or bibliography?

edit

The purpose of the full citations listed in section § Works cited (all the ones with Polish authors and English titles, up through 'Lech Wyszczelski') is unclear. (Note: this is the section that was called "Bibliography" in earlier versions; I changed the section name because of this confusion.) A spot check reveals that at least some of these citations duplicate sources from inline citations that are rendered in the § Footnotes section. If these are meant to be there just to give the English titles of inline citations already present, that is not how we do it in English Wikipedia. In that case, the English title (and any other non-duplicated source info) should be merged into the inline citation, with the English title added to citation template param |trans-title=, and the citation should then be dropped from § Works cited. If this section is meant to be something else, please explain. Mathglot (talk) 00:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mathglot I dislike Harvard cites on Wiki, as they are a pain to use and often result in mixed citation styles :( I see this comes from your recent edit - I understand nobody likes to redo cite styles, not blaming anyone, but I am not sure how to solve this mess. Many works in that section seem to be not cited and should be in further reading. Maybe split them into a section named such?
