I'm unsure why this article needs a bibliography section, rather than including the associated titles in the present References section. While its a Help essay rather than policy, it appears to me that this is a good example of the merging of Specific and Detailed references, as depicted in the [[Help:References#Additional_Information|Additional Info]] section of the References how-to page. I propose merging the two sections into References. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 04:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC) I'm unsure why this article needs a bibliography section, rather than including the associated titles in the present References section.

− :I actually did this without thinking. Comes from my BA in history—"always separate the endnotes from the bibliography since they serve different purposes." Which may not apply in a wiki situation {{emoticon|:P}}. The more that I think about it, the more I believe that they should be separated for major articles like this. References should refer to specific topics (and page numbers), but a bibliography allows a much broader scope. This whole rant is probably more appropriate to the [[Help:References#Additional_Information|Additional Info]] section. I'll move it there. --[[User:Ebakunin|Ebakunin]] 17:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC) + :I actually did this without thinking.
