Wikilink from Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan[edit]

I was adding a citation to the Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan article when I noticed that the author, Sir Andrew Halliday, did not have a Wikipedia entry. I placed a stub, & then put in an authorlink from the Azzo II page. Since then I added some more text & citations.

Please help by expanding this article. Mahalo! Peaceray (talk) 02:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Andrew Halliday (physician) bibliography[edit]

No reason this needs to be on a separate article. We'd have another half-million or so articles if every bio entry had a separate 'list of works' entry for that author. LT910001 (talk) 06:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your thoughts & consideration about this matter.

What's wrong with another half-million or so articles when there may be appropriate reasons for a separate 'list of works'?

I was following the axiom set forth in Wikipedia:Be bold when I separated the bibliography from the main article. I did so for several reasons.

In a printed encyclopedias & biographies, a comprehensive bibliography rarely goes in among the text, & is often placed separately in an appendix.
The processing of templates slow down the retrieval & display of an article. The Andrew Halliday (physician) bibliography contains 22 templates not counting the banner or the default sort.
In cases of diverse bibliographies, the reader of the biography article might be interested in one or two, or none, & the whole list for that reader would merely serve as visual clutter. To that point, I doubt the same reader would be interested in all subjects as different as royal genealogy, military assessments of Portugal, social reform efforts aimed at improving mental institutions, treatment of emphysema, & the history of the West Indies. If there was an appropriate way of collapsing the bibliography in the biographical article, like with the mobile app, then I think that would be a thing to consider, even if it meant one additional template.

Removing Proposed merge banner[edit]

I am removing the proposed merge banner as there has been no discussion of this for well over a year & because the format of the bibliographic list with its infobox will not fit neatly into the article. Peaceray (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
