Talk:Adolf Bastian

Start
Almost a B class article, great start. Needs a little more structure (move most info from opening paragraph into other sections), and add an infobox and it would be a B class. Then use footnotes to tie sources to info and expand to improve more. Aboutmovies 21:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * B class? I don't know about that. not enough links, or references, and probably not enough content either. Then again, i could be wrong :) ---   ÅñôñÿMôús   Dîššíd3nt  23:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Sources for future article expansion
Further Reading sections are almost always a bad idea: they tend to be badly tended; unrepresentative; prone to bloat; and worst of all present an illusion of a well-sourced article where really none of the points are being tied to any source.

Kindly restore them as they're used for inline citations in the article: — Llywelyn II   04:32, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
