Talk:New York Bibliography

Bibliography is almost always a poor choice for statewide page. Each of the citations in the bibliography have at least three problems:

1. They are an undifferentiated list with little educational value. The purpose of our Wiki is to educate the reader. It is of little education value to make lists. It is of little educational value to make lists of links (which this bibiliography even fails to do).

2. The citations belong on other pages for this state according to the topic they cover (if they belong on the Wiki at all).

3. Lack of annotations about the entries leave doubts about the why they are listed, and what value looking them up would be to the Wiki reader.

Therefore, I propose this page be deleted. If some of the citations are useful they need to be annotated to explain their value, and moved the the apporopiate topic.

 * no arguments from me. I was asked to list all the ones used for County Creations. That is how it is there. Originally there was bibliography link from topic column. BTW, this page is OLD and I don't care for bibliographies (too much work.) Dsammy 22:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
