Publications a bit much

edit

@LeadSongDog: I notice you added these PubMed publications to balance out the PR firm's selection of the guy's publications, but I think it's having the negative effect of turning this into a resume for the guy. I'm guessing those are from some PubMed search or curated page, in which case I think an external link to the PubMed page would serve better in this case. I think "Selected publications" are fairly common, with the understanding that the curation was done by consensus of the editors of the page. I think the goal is to usually find some representative (e.g. most popular) publications in the area's of the subject's expertise, and if they've written books a full bibliography is not uncommon. 0x0077BE (talk · contrib) 21:28, 30 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

In a sense it was a response to the implicit wp:OR of the "selected" publications list. Who makes the selection? We need independent authorities to do that, as the bare minimum secondary source. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:10, 3 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
@LeadSongDog: That is not the standard that almost any biography article is held to, and adding randomly selected PubMed publications is not the solution to it, not to mention it's unnecessary, since we can just link to the Pubmed listing. See Richard_Feynman#Bibliography, Elinor_Ostrom#Selected_publications, Norman_Borlaug#Books_and_lectures, Max_Planck#Publications, none of which has a single secondary source referenced for their selected bibliographies. These are randomly selected examples. The "who" that selects them is the editors of this encyclopedia. Consider that we don't include every single fact about a person or every single reference to every single fact, either. It's not unreasonable to have a curated list of publications which highlight the person's career. 0x0077BE (talk · contrib) 23:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
The pubmed list wasn't random, it was complete. Perhaps that leads to excessive length, but it avoids injecting editor's POV. The "selected" lists without explicit criteria are the problem. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bibliographies#Recommended_structure and MOS:LOW pertain.LeadSongDog come howl! 02:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Orphan article message

edit

Please help this orphan article by adding links to it in related articles and lists. Once it has an incoming link from at least one article or list, the orphan tag can be removed (disambiguation pages, redirects and draft articles do not count). Three or more incoming links are ideal. The Find link tool may help, but not in all cases.
