Published Work[edit]

Shouldn't the "current event" template be re-added, considering the fact that this book has been covered extensively by the local press, e.g. The New York Post, El Diario La Prensa, The John Gambling Show, etc...? Ruthfulbarbarity 21:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so. It would be more more practical to add a reference as to what critics may state about the book then to add the template. Tony the Marine 02:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, One Nation, One Standard..., "released on December 28, 2006," can hardly be "[h]is first published book" if he published one in 1972 and another in 1981. Maybe his first book for the popular market, but not his first. Fixing that and combining with other publications. (Also standardizing the indentation in this talk page section.) --Thnidu (talk) 00:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wholesale references[edit]

Just about every section has the same set of references at the end: ^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}, nearly the full sweep. It's used fourteen times. It's an obvious bet that not every ref is relevant to every ¶ or §, and that the reader who is looking for confirmation or further detail will have a hell of a time finding it. These need cleaning up. --Thnidu (talk) 01:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even if every citation covered every point, it's still, per the hatnote, citation overkill - a selection from the AA, AB, AD, AF, AE (yes, they skipped AC and did AF before AE), etc. makes more sense. Pi314m (talk) 18:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
