Gasret Aliev
Hi Spectrumix

Can you keep the bold text to section and sub-headings? - bolding body text doesn't make the words any more important.

Does the Literature section contain books written by Gasret Aliev? If these publications just contain references to him, the section is better headed Further reading to avoid confusion.

Hi Acabashi! I respect your experience in this encyclopaedia, but I do not understand wthat you mean? What bolding body text is not important? Literature section must be contain books written by Gasret Aliev? I'am not understand. If is rule ok, but I doubt.

P.S. My english is not so good...


 * Thanks for getting back Spectrumix.


 * It is not about strict rules - it is about what will make the article easy for people to read, and understand what we are saying - which is what we want. Usually, we only use bold like this in headings not in the main text of the article. Have a look at this one: Hovhannes Bagramyan - Wikipedia thinks this is a good article. The headings of the big sections have underlined bold type, which you have done in your article. Then there are subsections in the Bagramyan article which are bold but Not underlined which are there to help introduce less important things. All the other text is normal. If we have a lot of bold text that is not headings, it looks messy.


 * If people think our articles are badly composed, they won't take them seriously. There is no need to make the name of a book bold because the reader will think you mean that the book is more important than anything else. The books are no more important than the rest of your writing. And, if you make each medal bold people might think that you have a point of view - they might think that you also have an opinion about how great the medals are. Wikipedia does not allow us to have our own opinions in the articles. I know you are not putting your opinion in the article, but you might give the people the idea that you are.


 * We mentioned Literature. The reason that this is not a good title for the books in your article is that Literature is not clear enough. Literature could mean books written about Aliev by other people, it could mean books written by Aliev, it could mean creative writing, or it could mean books that are not about Aliev at all but help to tell the bigger picture about what was going on at that time. So if the books were not written by Aliev, I would give them the heading Further reading, which means that when people have read your article and want to know more, you have told them about a good book for more information.


 * Wikipedia does have a Manual of Style which I don't think will be that helpful to you. It is a bit complicated. I would have liked something simpler when I started. But what I will do if you like, is to keep an eye on the article and help to copy edit it (that is re-write to make it understandable). What I will say straight away is that references to prove what you say are absolutely important. The references that you have now go to Russian text on the web. We must find some other references that are in English.


 * I will come back to the article from time to time to help. Best wishes, Acabashi (talk) 19:40, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
