thread_title: License not followed

message: It's unusual to have a Biography in the External links section. Further the  has all these books and more in various versions, why are we choosing certain copies only to link. Give them the link to IA, and a list of un-linked books in a Bibliography (or "Works") section. Then they can go to IA, Project Gutenberg, Google Books and anywhere else to find the edition they want to read. -- GreenC 03:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, WP:EL actually says - "If an article has external links, the standard format is to place them in a bulleted list under a PRIMARY HEADING at the end of the article. External links should identify the link and briefly summarize the website's contents and why the website is relevant to the article." It is not unusual for articles or multi-volume books to list specific contents available on such sites. Having a raw link that takes someone to the search page of the Internet Archive is fine if the article is a stub and editors can be led to sources but definitely not more useful than a carefully added and ordered list. We actually do choose good quality books scans by the biodiversity heritage library with all pages intact and avoid poor quality scans from Google. There are also instances on the Internet Archive where good content with bad meta-data will not be found easily. Shyamal (talk) 04:58, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As a compromise I have left the search templates and included the much used links (I know quite a few users personally) to the best scans of the works of Hume. I hope you will accept the compromise and agree that not everyone wants to search for content and that giving users more choice does not mean that we have to replace references with a search link for Google and Google Scholar.

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: The article currently says  with a citation to the Dictionary of National Biography. I started his Wikisource author page but couldn't locate the DNB article. So should it be the modern Oxford Dictionary of National Biography? Solomon7968 17:43, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Prof. Moulton's revision was published in the DNB 2004 edition. Added. Shyamal (talk) 03:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that the article info is still inaccurate. Our article on the DNB says, . So the reference is currently cited to the ODNB. The question is, whether it is a straight reprint of a biography previously published in any another edition of the DNB or a new biography. Solomon7968 06:01, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have modified the reference to make it look less confusing. I have always thought of DNB and ODNB as being the same work but varying in edition and publisher. As I understand it, biographies are revised or rewritten and this is indicated in the citation. In this case Moulton's biography appears not to be based on an earlier DNB entry. Of course, Moulton has many other biographical publications on Hume elsewhere. Shyamal (talk) 06:38, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
