Talk:Victor Krylov

Attempt at neutralizing article
This is just a heads-up that I will shortly begin editing this article to reduce the large amount of resume tone and unsourced content. Since the article was written by users (User:Eep07 and User:Piruka in particular) who seem to have extensive knowledge about Victor Krylov’s biography and scientific research, I feel that they should be pointed to Wikipedia’s policies about conflicts of interest if they want to retain the current content. In the meantime, all help is welcome to make the article meet WP’s standards. Ariadacapo (talk) 19:19, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * In the light of the revert of all of my edits (except for the "resume-tone" banner removal heh) I have taken the discussion to Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard. Ariadacapo (talk) 14:59, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Books by Krylov
The list of books by Krylov at the end of the article should be deleted. These are textbooks published as part of Krylov’s academic activity and they bring nothing to an encyclopedia article about the person (they do not serve to illustrate views, or specifics about the person). It is mentioned as a final word in the article that "Krylov has published several books and numerous papers on topics related to acoustics and vibration" with a high-quality reference (quoted three times in the article). The books are easily found from that reference for interested readers.

On the other hand the list of books, in my view, pulls the article back towards the promotional tone & undue weight state it had last summer. Are there any good reasons to keep this list here? Ariadacapo (talk) 20:42, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, there are good reasons to keep this list here. It immediately provides interested readers with the information that complements the main article. In particular, the last two titles have direct links to Google Books that show that these titles are research monographs, and not textbooks as said by Ariadacapo. Generally, all this fighting against books is appalling. German Nazis did so in the 1930s via burning books on fires. Their present enthusiastic followers do so by removing book titles from Wikipedia articles. 82.0.147.178 (talk) 04:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
