Talk:Charles Sanders Peirce bibliography

message: The "priority" rating is meant to describe the importance of the article to the entire Mathematics project. The idea is that we should be able to obtain different sizes of abridged encyclopedias by choosing just Top-priority, just Top- and High-priority, etc.  There are only about 1000 articles rated Top- or High-priority. A bibliography of works published by Peirce is not among the top 1000 highest-priority things for us to include in a mathematics encyclopedia. 
The Peirce-article itself is rated High-priority, which is OK; this should be lower than that, because it would be reasonable to have an abridged encyclopedia with an article about Peirce but not a list of his works. I am going to change the priority to Mid-. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your "Mid" rating is "just right" being above the previous "low" priority and above the suggested "high" priority. The main Peirce article is very long, and it relies on this  symbiotic  and well-linked bibliography, imho. Thanks Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 13:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The common practice in Wiki to include ISBNs in references is plain silly.  You don't need the ISBN when you go to the library, buy on Amazon, or place a special order in a bookstore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.36.179.65 (talk • contribs) 07:44, February 15, 2006  (UTC)
* JA: Response to unsigned remark above.  Yes, I tend to agree.  So far, I've preserved the ISBN's only in cases where it was necessary to refer to a particular set of volumes.  Jon Awbrey 15:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Joseph Ransdell brought to my attention that "W", not "CE" is the usual abbreviation for the Writings of Charles S. Peirce. A Chronological Edition". I see that the German Wikipedia Peirce bibliography page also uses "W" instead of "CE". So I'll replace, replace, replace. The Tetrast 12:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a few Google Book Search links were actually broken. Others,  I found by testing, worked properly only when user's browser has javascript & java activated. (I generally arrange for Google Book Search links to work regardlessly of whether the browser has javascript & java activated. That's a URL issue. Accessibility of the links from outside the USA is a separate issue.) The Tetrast (talk) 03:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I made up the abbreviation "PSWS" for Peirce on Signs: Writings on Semiotic. I decided against "PS" and "PSW" because they might, for all I know, be in use for some other work or works by or about Peirce; and against "POS" because it is a common abbreviation for an obscene phrase.

message: This bibliography wiki is already quite large, and pasting in the whole table of contents of the Collected Papers makes it 30KB 23KB larger. That table of contents at the German wiki is already directly linked from this bibliography under "Collected Papers". It is redundant to paste it in here and that redundancy matters when the article is so long. The Tetrast (talk) 23:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please don't paste in full table of contents of the Collected Papers from the German wiki 

message: If used throughout the wiki, the citation templates would vastly increase the filesize of the wiki which is already large. Also they do not allow sub-bullets for multiple works by a single author, which sub-bulleting is part of what makes the secondary bibliography readable. Also they're time-consuming complicated to use and are excessively "one-size-fits-all". The Tetrast (talk) 19:31, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The pairs of single quotation marks in Wikipedia markup are read as i tags by browsers. em tags are typed directly in Wikipedia markup in order to indicate actual vocal emphasis for automated screen readers used by people with impaired vision. Please do not replace em tags indicating vocal emphasis in the markup with pairs of single quotation marks. The Tetrast (talk) 00:58, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: It appears that automated screen readers generally do NOT give any special treatment to em tags (nor to i(talics) tags, b(old) tags, strong tags, ins(ertion) tags, del(etion) tags, s(trike) tags). E.g., see http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=41 . Someone replaced the em tags in CSP bibliography with pairs of quotation marks, so stet. The Tetrast (talk) 16:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Moore has some insightful articles on Peirce as well.  Will they all be included in the new book?  Dauben's articles on Peirce should be included also.  Tkuvho (talk) 07:49, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Which of these works introduces the Peirce quincuncial projection?  I think that should be mentioned here. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:37, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Peirce introduced the quincuncial projection in the US Coast Survey report for the year ending June 1877. In 1879 he did an article (linked at Peirce quincuncial projection in American Journal of Mathematics. I think that I'll have time to dig up info and links tomorrow.

message: Google Books links have been able to take more than one form. I got in the habit of using those that specify page by "jtp=" (followed by page number) because that was the way to assure that the reader did not need to have Javascript activated in order for the link to work. I have just found that Google has discontinued that style of page specification. I have systematically replaced the "jtp=" string with the "pg=PA" string, which I find works whether or not Javascript is activated. 
Sorry if the links were not working for a while. I had put a notice in the article to use the talk page to notify about broken links but some editor insisted on removing it because it's too "meta." The Tetrast (talk) 20:45, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I wish that an editor would list the Tables of Contents for the  New Elements of Mathematics (by volumes, with correct ISBN --- and perhaps with incorrect but sometimes mis-stated ISBN!). 
(The internet seems not to have the TOCs available, anywhere!)
Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:11, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Kiefer. I don't have a copy. Some time back, I tried to find the ISBNs online, but the online information about the volumes' ISBNs was contradictory, for example volumes 2 & 3 getting interchanged sometimes. The Tetrast (talk) 01:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Tetrast! If nobody gets inspired to add the TOC, then I'll ask interlibrary loan to borrow the books, and I can do it myself (groan ...). Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 01:47, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
