Edgar Allan Poe bibliography

Paulannis, I haven't seen someone distinguish between masterful and masterly in many years. It used to bother me that no one was using these words "right", but now I understand that correct usage is just a description of how educated people use words. "Masterly" is disappearing ↗, so if someone disagrees with your rewording, I wouldn't recommend getting into an edit war over it. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Riyoko Ikeda ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Elizabeth ↗ and Mariko ↗. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.</small>

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Twayne's World Authors Series ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles d'Orléans ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Twayne's World Authors Series ↗ moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Twayne's World Authors Series ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it has no sources'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:25, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

:What sort of sources would you suggest? It is essentially a list of books with a brief introduction. All the information comes from the books themselves (at the Internet Text Archive and in University Libraries) and from online catalogues. There is nothing in the article that anyone would question or dispute. Paulannis (talk) 12:23, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
::Not all books/book series are notable ↗. Please read WP:NBOOK ↗ and try to find references that meet that standard or WP:GNG ↗. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 13:14, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Books in this series are commonly found in University libraries in English-speaking countries. Because of the scope of the series, it has rarely if ever been critiqued, assessed, or discussed as a whole. It is unified because all the volumes are numbered items in a single named series; but otherwise it is in a sense a "cross-categorization list" because the volumes are held in many different subject areas within a library. The fact that the series continued for more than thirty-five years and was sold to public and university libraries around the world demonstrates its notability. Paulannis (talk) 15:22, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Most libraries provide listings for the books, or access to them, without comment on the series as a whole. However, now that they are available in database form, I have found one library that provides a positive comment about the series and have quoted it and provided a citation in my draft. I hope this helps. Paulannis (talk) 15:50, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
::::It helps in the sense that it is an easily checkable link to prove that this series even exists. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:17, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
:My essential point is that I don't see what there is in the article that needs citation. The Wikipedia guidelines say: "Wikipedia policy requires an inline citation to a reliable source specifically for the following four types of statements: Direct quotations; Any statement that has been challenged; Any statement that you believe is likely to be challenged; Contentious material, whether negative, positive, or neutral, about living persons." The article contains no such statements.
:Wikipedia guidelines also state: "Technically, if an article contains none of these four types of material, then it is not required by any policy to name any sources at all, either as inline citations or as general references."
:If you see any statement that requires citation, I can provide one. Paulannis (talk) 14:50, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
::{{tq|Any statement that you believe is likely to be challenged}} - This is quite subjective. e.g. I can imagine someone who thinks "TWAS is" is a challenge-worthy phrase. You've now added a citation which at least mitigates this. There are a couple of other minor points that can be challenged in the lead, but the main list of volumes needs a checkable source. The one that you've provided asks for a UNCW login to see the entire series.
::I read through my earlier reply and now I'm not sure whether WP:NBOOK ↗ or WP:NLIST ↗ applies to a book series. Feel free to submit the draft to WP:AFC ↗ using the "Submit the draft for review!" button once you feel it meets either of those guidelines. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:25, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
