Talk:Donald Meltzer

message: Hello, I am the author of this article and would like to explain its style and layout.  
This article is intended to enable those who have heard of either Donald Meltzer or of post-Kleinian psychoanalytic ideas to find their way to further reading.  Though classed as a ‘biography’ it is not about his life (except to a minimal degree) but an outline of his professional career and ideas.  Because this is a specialised and little-known (though notable) subject area, and reading about it here may constitute a reader’s first exposure to it, there seems little point in detailed exposition within the article itself. Instead I have tried to provide the kind of links and references that will help fill in the intellectual background. At the same time these are intended to map out the available sources of information for those readers who already know the Kleinian background but who might appreciate an overview for further research.  I would expect the Further Reading section to be expanded in an ongoing way by others.
:You may intended the article to work this way, but wikipedia users come to articles for many different reasons, not all of which you may have anticipated. Please don't restrict the reading community. You can contribute whatever you want to the article, but it is in the article's best interest to be as accessible and as comprehensible as possible. This is a general encyclopedia. Awadewit | talk 17:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I was aiming for - accessibility - even though the nature of the subject means that it will be incomprehensible to many people, as will any highly specialised subject. (I refer to the ideological aspect of it, not the strictly biographical aspect.)ArtLit 13:49, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Again, while you may not agree with this style, it is wikipedia policy. It is not "tourist information," necessarily. What if a reader does not know where the location is? The link will quickly tell them. You may find it distracting and unaesthetic, but wikipedia and the web in general are built around these kinds of links. Again, we should not assume all readers are of one type. Awadewit | talk 17:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
