Referencing and significance

[edit]

Three references are provided. One appears to be an article with an English title despite publication in FAZ. Another ("Archived") is given a link that doesn't work (how about this instead?) and all it says is that Isenburger is a "past academician". The third is a page from a gallery that I presume hopes to sell his work; anyway, the page says that its content comes from Isenburger's own website.

This is feeble sourcing indeed.

"Literature" includes three items. One is an unpublished master's thesis. Another is a paper by the author of that MA thesis, in a poorly described book. (Publisher? Year? ISBN?) The third is material by unspecified authors in a published exhibition catalogue. Forget the master's thesis; the other two may be usable. -- Hoary (talk) 12:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

"Significance" in the header should really have been "notability" (i.e. "notability" as defined by and for Wikipedia). It's now clear that Isenburger was notable. Even if accepted as an article in its current state, the draft would easily survive an AfD. So I could accept it now -- but it's in rather a mess, so I'll wait a few days before accepting it. During these few days, I'll improve it. (And to state what should be obvious, of course other editors are free to work on it, and another reviewer is free to evaluate it.) -- Hoary (talk)WWU 👍︎ 01:30, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Citation system

[edit]

The references to chapters within Wartenberg and Jessewitsch, eds. (2017), Von Frankfurt nach New York are already numerous and will become more so. They're already particularly cumbersome. And these and many other references are supplemented by Template:Rp: I don't mind the result, but its appearance is unpopular among many editors. I propose that before the references become forbiddingly numerous I switch the system to that used in, for example, the article Otto Jespersen: see in particular how that article handles references to chapters within Juul and Nielsen, eds. (1989), Otto Jespersen: Facets of His Life and Work. Any comments? (Pinging Zeamays in particular.) -- Hoary (talk)WWU 👍︎ 02:38, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

No response, so I've started the job of conversion. -- Hoary (talk)WWU 👍︎ 04:29, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
