Talk:Bridge of Birds

Untitled
This page is "Bridge of Birds" but actually talks about two other novels which are NOT Bridge of Birds.

I was about to break this page into three pages, one for each novel, and link to all three on the Barry Hughart page, but I discovered there's already a The Story of the Stone page. :(

Actually, it's a redirect page to another page. Maybe we could make The Story of the Stone a page about the Hughart book and just refer to The Chronicles of the Stone there? See discussion in Talk:The_Story_of_the_Stone

So, I'm not sure how to proceed. This page, as is, is certainly confusing.

Perhaps a Disambiguation page for The Story of the Stone.

The series is sometimes referred to as "The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox". We could have a page about that, and put these there...

 * Yes, I think a disambig for The Story of the Stone would be the way to go with it. - Hephaestos|&#167; 03:31, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

this is not a bibliographical reference site
Reference to: This edit by Attilios which I have rolled back since I think we should discuss this before choosing to remove useful information.

Though Wikipedia is not ostensibly a bibliographical reference site, that is not the same thing as saying bibliographical references are not useful in an encyclopedia article about a book or books. Analytical bibliographers, librarians, and book collectors could still find this to be useful information. I'm not real passionate about keeping or deleting this information, but thought it should be discussed a little before proceeding. --Quartermaster (talk) 12:28, 17 June 2017 (UTC)


 * If there is, or can be made, an infobox for all that data, so it can go onto the side, fine, but personally as someone reading the article*, and fascinated by Hughart's books, I'd as soon not have it inside the main column of text body. (* Though I have contributed edits in the past, which is why this popped up on my watchlist.) – •Raven .talk 02:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
