references, further reading and external links. What if the navbox is a list of links to related topics? Surely the logical place is then the "See also" section. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.146.47.248" title="Special:Contributions/86.146.47.248">86.146.47.248</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:86.146.47.248" title="User talk:86.146.47.248">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z-Position_of_navboxes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)</a>.<span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z-Position_of_navboxes"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z-Position_of_navboxes"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ChyranandChloe-2009-12-26T04:55:00.000Z-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z"></span>The <a href="/wiki/Template:Navbox" title="Template:Navbox">Navbox</a> suite was designed to be placed at the end of the article.

So, unless we manage to move the categories <i>up</i> the page, it makes about as much sense to leave the Navboxes at the end (just above the Categories - drawing useful attention to them), as it does to move the Navboxes up the page to be inside the SeeAlso section. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Quiddity" title="User:Quiddity">Quiddity</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Quiddity" title="User talk:Quiddity">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Quiddity-2009-12-27T21:08:00.000Z-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:08, 27 December 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Quiddity-2009-12-27T21:08:00.000Z-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Quiddity-2009-12-27T21:08:00.000Z-86.146.47.248-2009-12-26T04:11:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-01-02T03:33:00.000Z-Quiddity-2009-12-27T21:08:00.000Z"></span>I think that sister projects are frequently better considered as (slightly odd) external links rather than a "See also" issue.

In these cases, Sisterprojects are frequently linked from the SeeAlso section (or occasionally the References sections).

Why is that? I've tended to use only one in my editing and never had any problems. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub#How_to_mark_an_article_as_a_stub" title="Wikipedia:Stub">stub style guideline</a> only says, "It is usually desirable to leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it." This suggests that it is only a matter of taste regarding the number of blank lines, and not any technical reason, so it is similar to all the other article layout element like headings, references, external links, and so on. I would suggest that we remove this suggestion of two blank lines. It is not needed. Let editors choose what they like: one, two, or a hundred. <a href="/wiki/User:Jason_Quinn" title="User:Jason Quinn">Jason Quinn</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jason_Quinn" title="User talk:Jason Quinn">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Jason_Quinn-2010-03-20T17:19:00.000Z-Two_blank_lines_before_the_first_stub?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jason_Quinn-2010-03-20T17:19:00.000Z-Two_blank_lines_before_the_first_stub?"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jason_Quinn-2010-03-20T17:19:00.000Z-Two_blank_lines_before_the_first_stub?"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-03-20T18:49:00.000Z-Jason_Quinn-2010-03-20T17:19:00.000Z"></span>It's been the advice for a long time, so presumably it represents someone's impression of actual practice.

They both have multiple levels of heading and long words or unwrapped phrases. I've reformatted both of them to fit in under 100 characters, but both have been reverted by people who use small text fonts and/or large monitors. Here's Mental and behavioral disorders as an example:<br/> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Mental_and_behavioral_disorders&oldid=352564733">Original, standard format</a><br/> <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Mental_and_behavioral_disorders&oldid=352743831">Flexible, compact format</a><br/> Should there be some official preference for making text boxes convenient for readers who use mobile devices, small monitors, or large fonts? People with good eyesight and big flat-screen displays don't seem to care about this issue. The Images section of this page mentioned fitting images in an 800x600-pixel window.

By this I mean a complete merge of WP:Layout AS IS, in its ENTIRETY into the MoS. Some editors seem to have it stuck in there heads that a merge means that they have to cut and chop and mess around with a page that has already gone through years of collaborative editing to make it as perfect as it can be, and by the time they're done with their "merge" the original page is half the size it originally was with half the detail. This really frustrates me because all those prior editor's work to shape the page has been in vain. Best thing would be just to leave it as is IMO. -- <a href="/wiki/User:OlEnglish" title="User:OlEnglish"><span style="font-size:x-large;">œ</span></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:OlEnglish" title="User talk:OlEnglish"><sup>™</sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-OlEnglish-2010-03-30T01:58:00.000Z-Ohms_law-2010-03-27T20:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-OlEnglish-2010-03-30T01:58:00.000Z-Ohms_law-2010-03-27T20:57:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-OlEnglish-2010-03-30T01:58:00.000Z-Ohms_law-2010-03-27T20:57:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-04-24T23:46:00.000Z-Consolidation?"></span>Is this now a dead issue?

We're more like paper encyclopedias. So I checked a row of encyclopedias at the library and can report that the numerous multi-volume and large-scale encyclopedias published by Scribner, Macmillan, Gale, Sharpe, Simon & Shuster, Harvard and Oxford use the term "Bibliography" for their guide to literature at the end of articles. That demonstrates it is an established term in the encyclopedia world. <a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-04-18T06:00:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-04-17T10:52:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-04-18T06:00:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-04-17T10:52:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-04-18T06:00:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-04-17T10:52:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/APA_style" title="APA style"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-04-19T02:19:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-04-18T06:00:00.000Z"></span>APA style</a>:</i> "In APA style, the alphabetical list of works cited, which appears at the end of the paper, is titled <b>References</b>."<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c09_s2.html">[2]</a> (used by sociologists and psychologists)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/The_MLA_Style_Manual" class="mw-redirect" title="The MLA Style Manual">The MLA Style Manual</a>:</i> "Center the title <b>Works Cited</b> about one inch from the top of the page."<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c08_s4.html">[3]</a> (used in humanities)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Council_of_Science_Editors" title="Council of Science Editors">Council of Science Editors</a>:</i> "Center the title <b>References</b> (or <b>Cited References</b>) and then list the works you have cited in the paper; do not include other works you may have read."<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c11_s2.html#p04_c11_s2">[4]</a> (used by scientists)</li></ul></dd> <dd>Nope, I'm not finding any indication that these styles even permit "Bibliography".

And Quiddity explains why: the term is ambiguous. Now, of course, there is the added factor that most articles have followed this guideline (however misguided it may be) and Wikipedia readers now expect to see "Works" or "Publications" for an author bibliography and "Further reading" for a non-author bibliography. <a href="/wiki/User:Butwhatdoiknow" title="User:Butwhatdoiknow">Butwhatdoiknow</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Butwhatdoiknow" title="User talk:Butwhatdoiknow">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-04-19T02:42:00.000Z-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-04-16T07:34:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-04-19T02:42:00.000Z-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-04-16T07:34:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-04-19T02:42:00.000Z-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-04-16T07:34:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="See_Also_2" data-mw-thread-id="h-See_Also_2-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-See_Also_2-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z"></span>See Also<span data-mw-comment-end="h-See_Also_2-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mydogtrouble-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z-See_Also_2"></span>I would recommend a policy of some redundancy such that some links in the articles should be or can be repeated in the "See also" sections. The reason is, PEOPLE SKIM. Skimming an article is very common. I find "See also" extremely useful when skimming Wikipedia: it saves much time. I'm sure all could see and agree that if such lists become too long they become a hindrance. But five "see also"s with two of them already in the text, would be an actual improvement, to me, over the current recommendations to have no repeats. <a href="/wiki/User:Mydogtrouble" title="User:Mydogtrouble">Mydogtrouble</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mydogtrouble" title="User talk:Mydogtrouble">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Mydogtrouble-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z-See_Also_2" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:21, 13 February 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mydogtrouble-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z-See_Also_2"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mydogtrouble-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z-See_Also_2"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ChyranandChloe-2010-02-13T23:40:00.000Z-Mydogtrouble-2010-02-13T14:21:00.000Z"></span>This guideline isn't really important until a Featured Article review. Articles bloat, and when the See also fills up, removing the redundant seems reasonable. The guideline defers "editorial judgment", your judgement. Articles are varied.

However, your complaint about websites ("prepared by non-Wikipedians who had other goals in mind") is exactly as true about the dozens of books you list: They were none of them written by Wikipedians, and their authors didn't have Wikipedia in mind, and they didn't write their books as supplements to the Wikipedia article. <a href="/wiki/User:WhatamIdoing" title="User:WhatamIdoing">WhatamIdoing</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:WhatamIdoing" title="User talk:WhatamIdoing">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-06-06T00:50:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-06-06T00:50:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-06-06T00:50:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rjensen-2010-06-06T02:48:00.000Z-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z"></span>Most of my Wiki contributions are to history articles. The selection process is part of writing the article. I would say that I reject 10 books for every one hat makes the cut and is recommended to Wiki users in the Further Reading; I usually know something about the book already or else I check its reviews before listing it. In every case it is a title I can recommend as a RS. The selection is based on the thrust of the Wiki article (e.g. pay more attention to books on topics that the article covers in greater detail). I try to tailor the list to the needs of the Wiki users. (four examples: 1) I give priority to books & articles that are entirely or partly online, such as <a href="/wiki/JSTOR" title="JSTOR">JSTOR</a> or Amazon or books.google. 2) I pay more attention to the best RS and avoid popular stuff that is not as reliable--if it is popular I annotate it that way; 3) annotations tell something to help the user who might want to order it inter-library loan; 4) I like to recommend recent reference books that will help the user explore more widely and which are likely held by college libraries). It's like when an editor chooses an illustration--these were not created by editors but they are an integral part of the article because the editor selected them to match the content of the article & meet the needs of Wiki users. <a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-06-06T02:48:00.000Z-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-06-06T02:48:00.000Z-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-06-06T02:48:00.000Z-WhatamIdoing-2010-06-06T02:06:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Redrose64-2010-06-06T13:41:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-06-06T02:48:00.000Z"></span>The only <i>significant</i> difference between "Further reading" and "External links" is that the former is printed works, the latter is internet sites.

I see "Further reading" as a convenient halfway house, for references that are no longer in an article but may go back in, or for books or articles that may be useful for expanding an article. But I don't think that usually sources in the Reference section should appear in further reading. Indeed one of the processes I go through when improving articles which do not have a separate "References" and "Further reading" sections is to see if there are books in the References section that are not cited in the footnotes. If not I look back through the history and if the book was added to References section without an addition to the text of the article by the editor who added the book, I move it into "Further reading". This helps clarify what was and was not used as a reference to write the article. Doing that helps any reader to know what was used to compile the article and it is of great help for any editor who wants to improve the article by adding inline citations from the sources in the reference section. It is misleading for our readers if say one source was used to write an article (eg text copied from 11th edition of EB) but half a dozen article are listed in the References section. </p><p>Personally I don't like external links sections because I think all sources at the bottom of an article should be formatted as if they were in the References section (with author, title, publisher, date etc). I think external links should be reserved for non text entries such as pictures and vidio clips etc. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Philip_Baird_Shearer" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Philip Baird Shearer">PBS</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Philip_Baird_Shearer" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Philip Baird Shearer">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-06-17T13:16:00.000Z-Significant_change_to_Further_reading" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:16, 17 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-06-17T13:16:00.000Z-Significant_change_to_Further_reading"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-06-17T13:16:00.000Z-Significant_change_to_Further_reading"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Student7-2010-06-21T19:25:00.000Z-Philip_Baird_Shearer-2010-06-17T13:16:00.000Z"></span>Your limitation makes sense.

Note that all other Wikimedia project are sister projects but they are still logically separated projects and in that sense external. Note that the unified login doesn't change that all, these WM projects still have their own local login administration, but more importantly their own community, authors, goal, rules and practices and though there is an a considerable overlap they are by no means identical. The difference between commons and another WM projects (including WP itself) is, that Commons is designed as <i>shared multimedia repository</i> and it usually provides mulitmedia material <i>as content</i> and not as interlinks to WP. </p><p>So why shouldn't we link to (logically) external projects, well because the WP community does not control external projects (even if they are within the WM foundation) and to provide a uniform behaviour (interface to users, all interlinks stay within WP). As far as the quality argument is concerned Wiktionary is not a reputable source, so from the quality aspect you probably would better link to other external projects like dictionary.com or various publically available "authoritative" dictionaries. Also I hardly see any practical reason to have interlinks to Wikitionary, since we don't want to turn WP articles into a blue landscape by linking somewhat regular vocabulary and as far as technical terms or most very particular words, which you usually want to link, are concerned, they could/should have their own WP article anyhow. </p><p>Also note that this has nothing to do with WP being superior or better than other WM projects, it is merely a question of logical separation and uniform linking behaviour.--<a href="/wiki/User:Kmhkmh" title="User:Kmhkmh">Kmhkmh</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kmhkmh" title="User talk:Kmhkmh">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T21:01:00.000Z-External_links_and_Wiktionary" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T21:01:00.000Z-External_links_and_Wiktionary"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T21:01:00.000Z-External_links_and_Wiktionary"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Student7-2010-08-18T12:39:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T21:01:00.000Z"></span>Let's take Wiktionary by itself. My prime non-Wikipedia site. 1) there are words that may not be understood by everyone or are obscure that don't have articles and never will. The article would be just too small. The explanation of the word would distract from the article. Particularly since the majority of people might understand it. There seems to be a hole here since Wiktionary is off limits. 2) There is a <a href="/wiki/Template:Wiktionary" title="Template:Wiktionary">template:Wiktionary</a>.

However other authors would probably lump them all together under a section titled notes or references. Yet other authors prefer to separate general references/sources for the article as a whole from specific references/sources for individual statements, in such cases the specific references are in the notes section and the general references are in the references section. So the use of those section varies slightly. Of course you cannot use that for smuggling in unwanted sources. However a tourist website is not an unwanted source per se, but it depends on what it is used for.

The category templates you mentioned are meant to be used on other categories to improve browsing ability, not to be used on articles, as far as I can see. I've never seen in-line links to categories within articles, whether it be in a see also section or in the body of the article. As I wrote on my talk page, I could think of a few reasons why such links wouldn't be the best idea: <ul><li>A link to a category leads the user to content that is not meant to be directly edited. A similar list article "see also" link may be appropriate where a category is not since the user is taken directly to content that has prose.</li> <li>Categories are meant for browsing related subjects. Categories cannot include extensive explanatory prose, nor can they include links to articles that don't exist, whereas a list of flora and fauna can include information on species Wikipedia does not yet have articles for.</li> <li>And finally, all links in the see also section are typically thought of as links not yet included in the body of the article. A "complete" article should not really need this section. So the question asked is would you include direct links to categories in the prose of the article? I don't see anywhere that you could or should. It would also likely be considered an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EASTEREGG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EASTEREGG">WP:EASTEREGG</a> link if piped.</li></ul></dd> <dd>Cheers, <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Rkitko&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Rkitko (page does not exist)">Rkitko</a> <sup><small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rkitko" title="User talk:Rkitko">talk</a>)</small></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rkitko-2010-09-22T15:38:00.000Z-Tothwolf-2010-09-22T15:26:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rkitko-2010-09-22T15:38:00.000Z-Tothwolf-2010-09-22T15:26:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rkitko-2010-09-22T15:38:00.000Z-Tothwolf-2010-09-22T15:26:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tothwolf-2010-09-22T17:28:00.000Z-Rkitko-2010-09-22T15:38:00.000Z"></span>Despite the slight misinformation in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:LAYOUT#External_links" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:LAYOUT">WP:LAYOUT#External links</a>, Commons category linking templates <i>are</i> also used in <i>See also</i> sections.

While the wording of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SEEALSO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SEEALSO">WP:SEEALSO</a> is certainly not ideal (and very much <i>should</i> be updated and refined to reflect actual usage), the wording as currently written includes the term <i>"article"</i> because historically that was the most common wikilink type associated with <i>See also</i> sections. There have been similar arguments in the past over linking to the Portal namespace (such as, but not limited to <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Portal" title="Template:Portal">Portal</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>) in <i>See also</i> sections. We also had major problems with well meaning editors removing links for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Books" title="Wikipedia:Books">Wikipedia:Books</a> when that was first introduced (prior to the creation of the dedicated Book: namespace, when it still used the Wikipedia: namespace).

It often means the documentation needs to be updated. Since you mentioned template documentation above, template documentation in particular is often badly neglected and incomplete.

Arguing if <i>External links</i> does not yet exist put it under <i>See also</i> makes little sense, there is no problem with simply adding the <i>External links</i> along with adding a category. As far as internal categories are concerned I rarely see a scenario where this would be useful, in most cases the article belongs to associated categories anyway and the article needs to cattegorized rather than adding a category link under <i>See also</i>. In the few cases where it actually deems useful to an editor to add an internal category link under <i>See also</i>, he should just do so.

One reason that section often appears so early, is to give the reader more context as to the word that they are about to read numerous instances of. Eg, at <a href="/wiki/Herpetology" title="Herpetology">herpetology</a>, it helps to introduce the notion that <i>herpeton</i> originally meant "creeping animal" in Greek, fairly early in the article, so that this nuance is in the back of the reader's mind as they read the rest.</dd> <dd>At the article that you're asking about, I think having the etymology early helps to reinforce the original meaning of the word, and is more likely to get across to the reader that the word has mundane uses in Japan, and is only appropriated for the purely sexual meaning in other countries.</dd> <dd>HTH. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Quiddity" title="User:Quiddity">Quiddity</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Quiddity" title="User talk:Quiddity">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Quiddity-2010-10-19T03:38:00.000Z-Cptnono-2010-10-18T22:41:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Quiddity-2010-10-19T03:38:00.000Z-Cptnono-2010-10-18T22:41:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Quiddity-2010-10-19T03:38:00.000Z-Cptnono-2010-10-18T22:41:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Question" data-mw-thread-id="h-Question-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Question-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"></span>Question<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Question-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z-Question"></span>If there is no External links or Further reading sections, should there be an empty line between <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Reflist" title="Template:Reflist">Reflist</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> and a navbox for readability when editing? <b><a href="/wiki/User:Mclay1" title="User:Mclay1"><span style="color:red">McLerristarr</span></a> | <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mclay1" title="User talk:Mclay1"><span style="color:blue">Mclay1</span></a></b> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z-Question" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z-Question"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z-Question"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-15T03:32:00.000Z-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"></span>Here is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NAVHEAD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NAVHEAD">one solution</a>, not universally accepted. <a href="/wiki/User:Butwhatdoiknow" title="User:Butwhatdoiknow">Butwhatdoiknow</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Butwhatdoiknow" title="User talk:Butwhatdoiknow">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-15T03:32:00.000Z-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-15T03:32:00.000Z-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-15T03:32:00.000Z-Mclay1-2010-11-15T01:15:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WhatamIdoing-2010-11-15T05:10:00.000Z-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-15T03:32:00.000Z"></span>That's an unusual approach, but it has been used in a small number of articles, e.g., <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Principality_of_Zeta&diff=355838931&oldid=355838770">this one</a>.

I think we should delete the further reading sections of articles. There does not see to be any point to them. If the links or books were not used as sources, then all it is is advertising. If people want to find more information on a subject then they can look on their local library catalogue or something. Besides, the goal of Wikipedia, in Jimbo's words, is to be the source of all human knowledge. If there is any more interesting and relevant information on subject, then it should be included in an article, which makes a further reading section pointless and just a place for people to list their own websites on a topic.

Wikipedia's "further reading" section is a short listing -- from 2 to 50 titles, depending on the length and complexity of the topic -- that allow the reader to move forward. Since college and local public libraries have limited collections, it is often useful to have enough titles so that a user is likely to find a few of them on the shelves.<a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-08-15T01:46:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-14T15:59:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:46, 15 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-08-15T01:46:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-14T15:59:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-08-15T01:46:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-14T15:59:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-15T08:09:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-15T01:46:00.000Z"></span>I somewhat agree and i support the principal option for such a section as well, however I slightly disagree towards its purpose/use, imho further reading is intended to be a <b>short</b> list of the most important/best suited reading suggestions on the subject, it is not meant to be an excessive list reading or even a bibliography, i.e. 50 titles are way too much, normally it should be rather single a single digit number or close to it. In other other words it is a quality not a quantity selection.

The problem with a short list when dealing with a major topic in history is that it severely limits the usefulness to students. I have in mind high school or college students who want to do a term-paper for a class. The paper has to be on a narrow topic ("History of World War I" will not work). Usually the book has to be available in the library. I just checked a couple standard guides (Melvyl and "Historical Abstracts") and found over 1500 scholarly books and articles on the <a href="/wiki/Glorious_Revolution" title="Glorious Revolution">Glorious Revolution</a> of 1688 in England. A selection of 2% seems about right to get the student going. We should not omit journal articles--the better ones are immediately available to college students through academic libraries (which subscribe to JSTOR and similar), so that the student can start browsing right away. <a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z-Student7-2010-08-16T13:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z-Student7-2010-08-16T13:57:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z-Student7-2010-08-16T13:57:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-16T20:42:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z"></span>Well your approach definitely has some merits, however there's the question, whether WP is the appropriate place for that. Extensive reading recommendations, that you would compile for a class or lecture on subject or for people interested in doing thorough research on subject are a bit out of place in an encyclopedia. Wikiversity or Wikibooks might be a more appropriate for that. Having such extensive reading lists would is imho not quite in line with the general spirit of the guidelines (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOT">WP:NOT</a> and others) and the notion of many other editors of what WP should be comprise (traditionally encyclopedias do not have extensive reading lists). Of course one could argue to expand the scope of WP in that regard, after all WP is not paper. However such an expansion would have to be discussed and decided upon by the community at large. If the article's (main) author wants to add a short list of reading recommendations that's fine by current practice and guidelines. However if we are talking about compiling extensive reading lists and adding them to articles in general as you seem to suggest, that's imho not really covered by current practice and guidelines.--<a href="/wiki/User:Kmhkmh" title="User:Kmhkmh">Kmhkmh</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kmhkmh" title="User talk:Kmhkmh">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-16T20:42:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-16T20:42:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-16T20:42:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-16T14:46:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SandyGeorgia-2010-08-16T14:43:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-11T00:36:00.000Z"></span>Nope.

Speaking now just of history articles, the vast majority of these articles will have 1 to 4 items. However the big topics (like Napoleon or Lincoln or the world wars or Vietnam war) are very hard to students to grasp--the library catalog will have hundreds or even thousands of titles that are unselected--so our further reading list for major articles should have a couple cites for each main section. <a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z-SandyGeorgia-2010-08-16T14:43:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z-SandyGeorgia-2010-08-16T14:43:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z-SandyGeorgia-2010-08-16T14:43:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T01:12:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z"></span>I think most editors would be fine with 1-4 items, but not with excessive list not even for larger articles. Again purpose of encyclopedic article is not provide reading lists for students and class rooms. If you take an article like Napoleon it suffices imho to provide a few important biographies on Nspoleon and may 1 or 2 to books on his era. If you look at different sections of the <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a> article, you will see that they usually link to a separate main articles, which deal with those section topics in greater detail. Those main articles are the places where reading recommendations for section topics should go rather than in the <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a> article itself.--<a href="/wiki/User:Kmhkmh" title="User:Kmhkmh">Kmhkmh</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kmhkmh" title="User talk:Kmhkmh">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T01:12:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T01:12:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T01:12:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-08-17T00:36:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rjensen-2010-08-17T02:31:00.000Z-Kmhkmh-2010-08-17T01:12:00.000Z"></span>the primary use of encyclopedias for the last hundred years has been to help students in their studies.

Most professionally edited encyclopedias have further reading references at the end of their articles. That seems to be a general characteristic of many of the subject-specialized encyclopedias that are acquired by academic libraries. Take a look around in the academic library reference section nearest you and see how many specialty encyclopedia sets you find. Then look at the articles, and observe how often an encyclopedia article in a dead-tree encyclopedia has a bibliography at the end of the article suggesting books readers could read for more information on the subject. The Wikipedia Manual of style <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FURTHERREADING#Further_reading" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FURTHERREADING"> section on the issue</a> makes clear enough that this has been routine practice on Wikipedia for years as well. What I try to do when editing further reading sections is to put well researched, meticulously edited references into them as I discover those references, and then eventually (sometimes many months later) dig into those sections for sources for further edits of article text. Most of the 6,918,124 articles on Wikipedia need a lot more editing, but as far as I know most of us few thousand active editors are volunteers who are either working or studying full-time besides editing Wikipedia, so it's not surprising that not every possible edit is done at once. Listing a further reading source with an article, as long as it is a well chosen source, has immediate usefulness to every reader of the article (and some articles have hundreds of page views a day even while they languish with no edits for weeks at a time), and it has lasting usefulness to any other editor who surfs by and thinks "I could improve this article if only I knew of a source on this topic." On my part, now that I have gathered <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji#Source_Lists_to_Share_with_Other_Wikipedians" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji"> hundreds of sources</a> published by major commercial or academic publishers, purchased by major academic or public library systems, I simply don't have time simultaneously to edit all of the hundreds of Wikipedia articles that could be edited on the basis of those sources. I have my particular priority list of articles to edit on my volunteer time between work and family responsibilities. It may be that other editors have fewer means for finding such sources, but more time to <i>use</i> such sources once someone else finds them, so that if one editor shares a reference to a source or sources in an article further reading section, then other editors can use their volunteer time productively updating the articles based on current, reliable sources. Division of labor helps everyone get more work done more efficiently. I have seen instances of further reading sections being spammed for political or commercial purposes, and I boldly delete sources from such further reading sections (which, fortunately, are not commonplace) if I find them. The main thing is to keep looking for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS"> reliable sources</a> all the time that have usefulness for follow-up reading by readers of Wikipedia and eventually usefulness for editors editing Wikipedia. -- <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji">WeijiBaikeBianji</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User talk:WeijiBaikeBianji">talk</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing">how I edit</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:47, 27 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion"></span> </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z"></span>WeijiBaikeBianji has said it very well. One problem with this discussion is the contributors have very different pictures in their minds of the articles we are talking about. Just to limit the discussion to history, most history topics have only a few RS--maybe 2 or 3--and usually they will be the sources used by the editors to write the article and so be included already in the footnotes. As a rule of thumb for history articles, let me suggest one to three "Further reading" citations per 1000 words. That way, the great majority of history articles will have three or fewer suggested readings, while the long complex articles will have one or two suggested readings per articles section. other fields, such as the sciences, may well have an entirely different guideline.<a href="/wiki/User:Rjensen" title="User:Rjensen">Rjensen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rjensen" title="User talk:Rjensen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-27T19:47:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z"></span>(A bit of context: WBB has actually been using further reading sections as a dumping ground for material he hasn't read yet and thinks should be used for sourcing. This includes books which mention the topic only a handful of times across several hundred pages, and causes some BLP concerns.) If there is to be a further reading section, guidelines should be clear that any editions should be centrally about the article topic. If it is a person, it should be a biography <i>of that person</i>. If it is about a subject, it should be a good introduction to the subject - a good place to start - not just any old book on the topic. It should not be a place to suggest extra sources for the text, which is precisely, by his own admission, how WBB is explicitly using the section.<a href="/wiki/User:VsevolodKrolikov" title="User:VsevolodKrolikov">VsevolodKrolikov</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:VsevolodKrolikov" title="User talk:VsevolodKrolikov">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:57, 27 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T03:08:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z"></span>VsevolodKrolikov, please take a deep breath and enjoy the rest of your weekend before making further unwarranted assumptions about how I am using sources as I edit Wikipedia. I read the sources that I refer to in articles. The sources relate to those articles, even if they are at first posted just as further reading sources, rather better than many of the fudged sources I have seen in various articles on various topics on Wikipedia. Naturally, it is entirely legitimate for editors (while observing the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AGF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AGF"> assume good faith conduct guideline</a>) to discuss sources with one another, and to say, "What do you see as the relevance of that source to this article?" But right now one thing that very few of the 6,918,124 articles on Wikipedia suffer from is too many sources. Quite the contrary, most articles are starving for sources and citing a source that devotes three pages (with footnotes) to the topic of the Wikipedia article directly, and perhaps a whole chapter to the context of the topic of the Wikipedia article, is much better than rejecting the source because the title of the source implies that it is "mostly" about the topic of some other Wikipedia article. A lot of careful nonfiction writers who are practiced researchers can put in one book material that could easily improve twenty or thirty Wikipedia articles—I've seen it done. -- <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji">WeijiBaikeBianji</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User talk:WeijiBaikeBianji">talk</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing">how I edit</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T03:08:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T03:08:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T03:08:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-27T23:57:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T04:19:00.000Z-Rjensen-2010-11-27T20:20:00.000Z"></span>With the greatest respect, your edit summary indicates you do not accept the good faith of others.

It should be for books that 1. treat the topic of the article as their main focus - not just books that briefly mention it - and that 2. can be uncontroversially agreed on as reccomended reading by the editors involved with the article. Basically the same guidelines as used for external links - there must be wide agreement that external links are directly relevant for them to be included - the same should go for further reading. It should be the kind of book that is logically the next place to read more after reading the wikipedia article.

Some topics have entire books written about them, and recommending appropriate books (possibly in conjunction with annotations) seems quite useful and appropriate, and as pointed out above is a practice encountered in other encyclopedias. The (2) second way in which the further reading section are useful is identifying source that can be used to expand article which should still be expanded; see <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Expand_further" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Template:Expand further">expand further</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> and its TfD discussion.

Take a look for instance at <a href="/wiki/List_of_Jewish_Nobel_laureates#Further_reading" title="List of Jewish Nobel laureates">List of Jewish Nobel laureates#Further reading</a>; most items on that list are one page in length!

That is the case with many FAs and GAs. In those cases, a Further reading section may often be dispensable, as most important works will be listed there. On the other hand, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_del_Giocondo&oldid=188039805">here</a> is an FA that was promoted with a Further reading section in place, and the section even contains publications that were used as sources in the article, in violation of the present wording of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FURTHER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FURTHER">WP:FURTHER</a>. <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_Language_Movement&action=historysubmit&diff=144907242&oldid=144551808">Here</a> is another one, with a Further reading section containing works that were not used as sources in the article. <a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> has a Further reading section. It would be interesting to see how many FAs have a further reading section, and what these sections contain. Can anyone think of a way to generate stats for that?</li> <li>I can imagine scenarios where it might be reasonable to include a work in a Further reading section, but not use it as a source. Imagine for example a notable book of poetry about a person, river or mountain that is mentioned in the article because many other sources mention it, but which is not used as a source itself.</li> <li>Many lower-quality articles don't have a References section, but just list dozens of footnotes, which are very hard to take in for the reader. In those cases I have always felt that a further reading section is useful, and that it may even be useful to the reader to include works that have been used as references in the article. For example, if an academic standard work is listed under Further reading and an editor comes along and cites it once, does it really make sense to remove it from the Further reading section because of that, burying it in amongst 50 other references?</li> <li>One thing we should clamp down harder on is people adding their self-published books to Further reading sections. The current wording at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BOOKSPAM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BOOKSPAM">WP:BOOKSPAM</a> is too wishy-washy.</li> <li>It might be useful to have a guideline-level main page for Further reading sections, just like we have <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EL">WP:EL</a> for external links. --<b><a href="/wiki/User:Jayen466" title="User:Jayen466"><span style="color:#0000FF;">JN</span></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jayen466" title="User talk:Jayen466"><span style="color:#FFBF00;">466</span></a></b> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Jayen466-2010-11-28T08:05:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:05, 28 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jayen466-2010-11-28T08:05:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jayen466-2010-11-28T08:05:00.000Z-Random_break_in_Further_Reading_discussion"></span></li></ul> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-28T13:33:00.000Z-Jayen466-2010-11-28T08:05:00.000Z"></span>I certainly agree with that last suggestion.

But that might be true for specialist articles, like physics, or philosophy or something. For low level articles, like geography (my forte), people throw in all sorts of things, travel guides which I don't care for, historical and archeological (which I appreciate but cannot verify); etc. The list can be extremely difficult (read: "impossible") to maintain.

For the moment, are we all (or nearly all) agreed that "Further reading", if it it exists, should consist of good starter texts/foundation texts for any subject? Here are some principles, including ideas on how to deal with spamming and bias: </p> <ol><li>Should <i>clearly</i> qualify as RS.</li> <li>Should be a directly focussed overview. For example, on the page for the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a>, it would have a general section including books like Lisa Jardine's <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=H5n4XPKkytQC">Worldly goods: a new history of the Renaissance</a> which should <i>directly</i> (and preferably exclusively) address the topic <i>as a whole</i>. Books on, for example, people within the renaissance would not be suitable as they are not an overview. Those books might qualify on other pages. Books on associated topics would also not be suitable.</li> <li>Subsections can exist in general articles (but with limits, and certainly matching the article structure), and according to the same principles. Keeping with the renaissance example, the music subsection could have a couple of titles like <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=LY1XPQAACAAJ">Renaissance music: music in Western Europe, 1400-1600</a> - again, an overview of the topic. A book about the development of the <a href="/wiki/Sackbut" title="Sackbut">sackbut</a> would be too specific for further reading in this more general article.</li> <li>To avoid spam, any book included should have received <i>more than one good review in RS</i> - newspapers and scholarly journals being the norm, and the <i>clear balance</i> of RS reviews should be positive. This would avoid self-publish spamming, POV pushing, and attempts by publishers to get books promoted through inclusion on wikipedia. At the moment "editorial recommendations" as described in the manual smacks of OR.</li> <li>There should be guidelines on limiting the number of sources.</li> <li>Neutrality is essential. We may have to work out rules where topic disputes are irreconcilable.</li> <li>If no appropriate sources exist that meet these criteria - then don't have a section. It's not a necessity.</li></ol> <p>People's thoughts? <a href="/wiki/User:VsevolodKrolikov" title="User:VsevolodKrolikov">VsevolodKrolikov</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:VsevolodKrolikov" title="User talk:VsevolodKrolikov">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-28T18:18:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z"></span>My thought is that this is a good beginning for a Further reading essay if, in fact, that is the first step in developing a new Further reading guide.

Boson is of course right that not all aspects of the RS policy is applicable to further reading as further reading does not backup any claims. I do think that it is important that further readings are hi9gh quality sources - e.g. books published from respectable presses, that have not been disfavorably reviewed too many times, etc. I think the best way to achieve the kind of policy that we want is by stating that the prime criteria for inclusion is consensus among the editors of the article - and that any books the inclusion of which is not consensus should be left out.

Are you <b>sure</b> that that should be chiseled into a Wikipedia content guideline? That would imply a Security Council permanent-member-style veto power for a small minority (it might be a minority of one) who doesn't want a source, however reliable, mentioned. Or is your intended meaning of "consensus" something like a majority of active editors on an article, even over expressed opposition? Because the majority of the articles on which I've seen your helpful editorial skills in action are articles plagued by frequent edit wars, I want to make sure you are not proposing a guideline that limits your own ability to add helpful sources to articles. -- <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji">WeijiBaikeBianji</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:WeijiBaikeBianji" title="User talk:WeijiBaikeBianji">talk</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing" title="User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing">how I edit</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T23:45:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:45, 28 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T23:45:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2010-11-28T23:45:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Boson-2010-11-28T23:56:00.000Z-VsevolodKrolikov-2010-11-28T15:18:00.000Z"></span>I'm not sure how 'Neutrality is essential' is to be interpreted.

For example, would <i><a href="/wiki/Mad_in_America" title="Mad in America">Mad in America</a></i> be a suitable "further reading" at <a href="/wiki/Schizophrenia" title="Schizophrenia">Schizophrenia</a>? (disclosure: I've added the wiki article on the book as a "see also", but unlike a "further reading", the wiki article on the book explicitly has reviews, some quite negative). As another example, I moved <i><a href="/wiki/The_Gene_Illusion" title="The Gene Illusion">The Gene Illusion</a></i>, which was a further reading at <a href="/wiki/Heritability" title="Heritability">heritability</a> to a inline ref about the existence of a small minority POV that discredits the concept of heritability. I think that as a general rule, it's preferable to deal with POV sources in text (or as "see also" if an appropriate article exists on the source itself) instead of adding them to "further reading", because that can give the impression that Wikipedia is recommending a certain POV. <a href="/wiki/User:Tijfo098" title="User:Tijfo098">Tijfo098</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Tijfo098" title="User talk:Tijfo098">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Tijfo098-2010-11-30T04:13:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Tijfo098-2010-11-30T04:13:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Tijfo098-2010-11-30T04:13:00.000Z-A_series_of_Further_reading_proposals_to_discuss"></span> </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-11-30T04:37:00.000Z-Tijfo098-2010-11-30T04:13:00.000Z"></span>I see you've duplicated this comment at the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Further_reading" title="Wikipedia:Further reading">wp:Further reading</a> talk page.

In this case, it may be helpful to maintain separate "Notes" and "References" sections, with the Notes section containing the annotations and the References section the full formatted reference. For example: </p><dl><dd><i>In <a href="/wiki/Physical_cosmology" title="Physical cosmology">cosmology</a>, the <b>cosmic microwave background radiation</b> is a form of <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation" title="Electromagnetic radiation">electromagnetic radiation</a> discovered in 1965 that fills the entire universe.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></i></dd></dl><p> It is also possible to provide annotations in other ways: by including them in the references section itself or by including everything in a footnote. If an annotation is particularly long (more than one or two sentences), it may be appropriate to merge some of the information into the main article instead of placing it in an annotation.</p></blockquote> <p>There is an ongoing <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Scientific_citation_guidelines#Annotations_section" title="Wikipedia talk:Scientific citation guidelines">discussion on the talk page there</a> and the general feeling seems to be that the section does not belong there since it's not really about citations (annotation is not referencing) or science. I'd like to propose that the section be moved to this guideline since it's really layout issue. I'd also like to propose the following edited version since in it's current form it's confusing and the example does not illustrate what I think are our best practices. </p> <blockquote><p>When an article lists a large number of sources or materials for further reading then it is often helpful to annotate each entry with a brief indication of the type of work it is (beginner, advanced, detailed, survey etc.).

A plain description of the existing practice looks a lot more like "Two of Wikipedia's 50,000 editors like this section heading."</dd> <dd>Despite your description of "no consensus", we actually do have a consensus: >99% of articles omit these section headings.

So, instead of consensus, we have resistance to change without much thought given to whether the headings are a good idea or not.

Like you say, in a rather lengthy article it can make sense sometimes to highlight another that's already been inline-linked above, using a See also link. I suppose it's because those sections, given they comprise a list of page titles, are mostly composed of whitespace, so inevitably stick out. That makes editors disinclined to use them, particularly when the link has already been given and in some cases the linked-page's topic as it relates to the present one already sufficiently explored through prose. I use the <a href="/wiki/Template:See_also" title="Template:See also">See also</a> template and its friends (e.g, {{Details}}) sometimes. They ensure a germane link isn't--as you say--buried in the text, while helping make sure the article falls short of including lengthy lists of the sort we discourage through pages like wp:embed. I imagine it's a corollary of the wp:overlinking guideline, which discusses linking subsequent occurrences a little further down, as well. Evaluating on a case by case basis along with employing other solutions like those templates when it seems justified is an approach that I feel works well. –<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Whitehorse1" title="User talk:Whitehorse1">Whitehorse1</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Layout/Archive_7#c-Whitehorse1-2010-12-22T05:01:00.000Z-Herostratus-2010-12-22T04:28:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Whitehorse1-2010-12-22T05:01:00.000Z-Herostratus-2010-12-22T04:28:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Whitehorse1-2010-12-22T05:01:00.000Z-Herostratus-2010-12-22T04:28:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Butwhatdoiknow-2010-12-26T13:45:00.000Z-Herostratus-2010-12-22T04:28:00.000Z"></span>It seems pov to me, to "point out" to ignorant, sloppy readers that they should "also" see something that they decided to skip linking to in the text.

The problem about leaving everything up to the editors, is when we get a nut, which always happens, eventually, it is hard to remove his stuff without some clear rule. And no, by the time the robust article gets this "information" {strangely overlooked by the original, highly knowledgeable authors who have since moved on), there are few editors watching the page. Just me and this other guy, for example. It is usually mano to mano. With a crisp, lucid, non-vague "rule", I can handle these guys.

However, relatively few articles use "See also", which I'm sure restricts the use of portal and book boxes, which add a lot of whitespace or mess up formating. I guess I have no problem standardizing on using "See also" and "External links" sections for this stuff as long as inline templates are used only so that they are added to a list. But I'm eager to hear other opinions on this.
