Talk:Angela P. Harris

note
Noting significance of scholarship: Right now, Westlaw shows 1000+ cites for Harris' 1990 Stanford Law Review article; it was an incredibly influential paper, one of several such very notable papers she's written. However, it's hard to distill that into a ref cite. Thoughts? --lquilter 00:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Selected bibliography
Harris is listed as the lead author in most of the items in §Selected bibliography. When I follow the ISBN links to WorldCat, or Google books, or Amazon, she is not listed there as lead author. Shouldn't the authors in these citations be the listed in the same way as they are listed in the cited work?

 * Wikipedia must have style on this, but I'm not a style manual geek. My personally preferred method of citation is to follow the published style or conventions of the field (first), alphabetical (second), and to bold or highlight the relevant author.  But let's do whatever wikipedia style says.  WP:MOS.  --Lquilter (talk) 14:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I see a lot of citations. For the great preponderance of them (I would venture to say almost all), when there are multiple authors (journal articles especially), authors are listed in the order that they appear in the published work.  There is generally a lead author whose name appears first followed by everyone else in descending order of contribution.


 * As for MOS:, I tried several searches without success. Either MOS doesn't address this topic, or I didn't use the correct search terms.  Please give a try, perhaps you will find the right search terms.

 * The MOS included "Citing sources". Relevantly there is no house style at Wikipedia, so I would say that conventions of the field should apply. So feel free to arrange authors in the published order that you've found.  (NB: In legal scholarship, I wouldn't presume that order indicates substantiality of contribution. In many jointly-authored works, for instance, order is alphabetical; in others, such as long-standing casebooks, order might be based on time of joining the project.)  --Lquilter (talk) 17:26, 9 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Since I wasn't the editor who added the bibliography, I'm probably not the right one for the job. Rather I think that the task of fixing the citations is in Editor The Vintage Feminist's bailiwick.

 * If the article is about Jane Doe then I place Doe, Jane first. If there are three or four authors, I check to see if any of the others have entries on Wikipedia, if they do then I put their name second with an author-link. Otherwise they are generally in the order that the book cover had them.


 * As far as I know it is just the personal choice of the editor, but if WP ever decides on a convention I'll be happy to go with the community's decision. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:51, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
