Talk:American frontier

Split proposed for bibliography
Since this section is growing by such leaps and bounds, perhaps we should consider moving the material to Bibliography of the American frontier or something similar. Stefen Towers among the rest!  Gab • Gruntwerk 19:26, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Good idea Rjensen (talk) 19:59, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. This is getting pretty ponderous. Intothatdarkness 17:55, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Double columns? 2600:1700:606A:E000:3D95:C7C8:9D8A:A6D4 (talk) 02:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That would likely save some vertical space but it wouldn't reduce the growing number of entries. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 02:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Double columns--no --it makes it hard to read a bibliography Rjensen (talk) 17:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * A split for a bibliography sounds like the way to go, then. I anticipate more entries. 134.124.26.46 (talk) 03:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It seems we have a consensus. I would copy over to a new article but it would be best for the edits to this section to settle down first. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 18:05, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a good time. 2600:1700:606A:E000:0:0:0:41 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ I have completed the split. The new article may need some additional categories and more prose, and perhaps a pic. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 05:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Western fiction?
There is a link to "Western film." Shouldn't there also be a link to "Western fiction"? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_fiction 134.124.25.250 (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

legends of the Old West
In perusing various articles related to persons and events of the Old West over a few hours, I have observed and tagged examples of lengthy passages that are wholly unsupported by any sources. I don't know where this stuff comes from. I hope we are not perpetuating an unencyclopedic, romanticized and mythologized version of Old West folklore, and I encourage editors to closer scrutinize the content. Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch might be a good launching point to follow wikilinks and examine the myriad persons and events, many of which appear dubious. soibangla (talk) 06:47, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
