Talk:David Drake bibliography

Latest comment: 1 year ago by Sunwin1960 in topic Bibliography format

Confusing presentation edit

In studying this article to aid in cataloguing and shelving my own book collection, I have found it onerous in a number of cases to work out whether a work is a novel, collection or anthology, and whether it is a solo work or a collaboration.

Can I suggest that someone familiar with Drake's ouvre devises a more transparent structure? I realise that this is not straightforward, but the current arrangement, mostly alphabetical-by-series, leads to ambiguosity over other criteria. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.56.237 (talk) 12:27, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Bibliography format edit

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography:

  • Cite templates will be used where possible.
  • Tables may be used to organise short stories, poems and/or book reviews.
  • While I would prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, the Wikipedia Manual of Style at WP:MOS requires "title case".
  • ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference.
  • Links to potentially unreliable digitised copies may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 06:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
