Telos articles
You've been adding quite a number of articles from Telos to various biography pages, with external links to the Telos website. There is a TELOS (journal) page, so you could just link directly to that article rather than using external links. AllyD (talk) 18:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * ... and I notice they've quite a lot of articles available online now, so if you're staying with External links, it may be possible to link directly to the specific article, giving more of a value-add to the reader? AllyD (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks so much for the advice. The problem with linking to back issues is that the archives are only available for a few months as a trial, then they're going to be subscription-only. Great idea to link to the Telos wiki page.

I'm having a bit of trouble doing the link. I want the link to be called TELOS but be piped to the TELOS (journal) wiki page. Any advice?


 * If you put TELOS (journal)|Telos in the square brackets it will give the desired effect. (See for example a citation reference I put in a couple of yrs back: Bruno_Rizzi AllyD (talk) 21:02, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, again. Your format is different from mine - Is that the preferred format for citations? Are you associated with the journal? If so, then the following will be relevant, if not then just ignore it.

I spoke to Russell, and he okayed the format I've been using. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do something more clean looking like yours or not, and I'm still not sure mine is better.


 * Just a long-time reader from far away! The citations in the Rizzi article are using the template described at Template:Cite journal. I'm not entirely sure it adds any real value; it may be standardisation for standardisation's sake, but I tend to use it anyway. When I remember to! AllyD (talk) 22:25, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Context and relevance
Rather than just adding lists of article names, there's a need to explain in the text why they are relevant to the article at hand. For example, there's the "Adorno as the Devil" link added to the Lyotard article: it is added under a "Selected Publications" heading, but there's no explanation for why that, among the many articles that JFL wrote down the years, should be specifically selected? This is where the WP:EL policy is worth reading. AllyD (talk) 22:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
