Talk:Sidebar (publishing)

Cuts?
Cut from article:


 * Separate information which is not connected in meaning, such as a different article or a table of contents, is not considered a sidebar.

Do we really have to say "what a sidebar is not"? I think this insults the reader. Uncle Ed 16:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case I think it is potentially useful in avoiding confusion, since we're talking about a sort-of-technical term. But I'm not certain enough about it to replace it. - DavidWBrooks 17:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll put it at the end, then. Okay? Uncle Ed 18:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)


 * So, how about that Netscape reference? It has always bugged me - it seems so peripheral. Was it really that unique, do you know? - DavidWBrooks 01:41, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I came here to try and learn the derivation of the word sidebar. A "bar" of type to one "side"? Something an editor decided to publish while he was having a drink in a bar? No help here, other than commenters saying,"Do we really have to explain this commonly known term?" Well, it would be helpful if you did.173.62.11.110 (talk) 05:22, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
