Talk:The Complete Farmer: Or, a General Dictionary of Husbandry

Capitalization

edit

Is there a reason why the article title and usage within the article is different from Wikipedia's general style as described at MOS:CT? Shouldn't it be The Complete Farmer: Or, a General Dictionary of Husbandry? Thanks, SchreiberBike talk 20:57, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your feedback. The (initial) capitalization is just, what I found in the first secondary sources used. I noticed by now, other sources use other kinds of capitalization, and there is no standard. In this case following Wikipedia's general style might be a better alternative. -- Mdd (talk) 21:30, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the background; I've made the change. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike talk 23:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Topic

edit

The topic of this article is a book, but the article seems to be more diligent about covering the topic of the book than the book itself. Shouldn't the content be edited to cover only the book? -- Mikeblas (talk) 20:57, 20 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

The article is designed to do both. I have given it a (second) try to illustrate and explains some more of the content of this work, something I also found in Smollett's "1768 review" of the work. Since it again raises questions, it might be a better idea to remove the whole section (or move it to Wikiquote, where such quotes are more common). -- Mdd (talk) 22:54, 20 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
