[edit] Notes & Queries

Jon Awbrey 14:14, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

  • JA: I'm dropping the ISBN's. If there were just one numb for each "book", that would be one thing, but I'm wasting way too much time and eyestrain trying to sort out the various hard-&-soft-cover variants, not to mention trying to track down numbs for definitive printings that I don't happen to have on hand. They also make for "cognitive resource intensive" (CRI) reading, especially when they sit next to a date of publication, flushing the short term memory buffer of the more important data thereof. Jon Awbrey 14:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • JA: It may be useful to outline the general principles of citation that I am following in this bibliography. There are two main considerations that I have tried to keep in mind throughout, the first having to do with the character of the source material and the second having to with the human factors of online reading. Jon Awbrey 16:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • JA: (1) As with any writer who generates a complex primary literature — parts of which are published in his or her lifetime and reprinted multiple times afterwards, and parts of which are unpublished "humously" but published in multiple exhumations and subsequent redactions — and one who incites an equally complex secondary literature that develops over multiple centuries, the Peirce corpus demands a level of detail and organization that the style sheets appropriate to our more ephemeral research journals simply fail to anticipate. Procrustean attempts to fit a body of work to these styles of short-sheeting is bound to result in both destruction and distortion of bibliographic information. A style sheet that destroys or distorts substantial information is not a fit style sheet, and will not be used here. Jon Awbrey 16:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISBN unnecessary

The common practice in Wiki to include ISBNs in references is plain silly. You don't need the ISBN when you go to the library, buy on Amazon, or place a special order in a bookstore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.36.179.65 (talk • contribs) 07:44, February 15, 2006 (UTC)

  • JA: Response to unsigned remark above. Yes, I tend to agree. So far, I've preserved the ISBN's only in cases where it was necessary to refer to a particular set of volumes. Jon Awbrey 15:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

On Wikipedia, the ISBN is an autolink to an index of library and commercial sources, a significant convenience for online searches. --Blainster 21:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abbreviation replacement

Joseph Ransdell brought to my attention that "W", not "CE" is the usual abbreviation for the Writings of Charles S. Peirce. A Chronological Edition". I see that the German Wikipedia Peirce bibliography page also uses "W" instead of "CE". So I'll replace, replace, replace. The Tetrast 12:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I've added a disclaimer to the section "Wikipedia in other languages on Peirce"

The disclaimer: "These are not to be considered sources, but they sometimes contain bibliographic information regarding foreign-language works on Peirce and on translations of Peirce's works."

I hope that covers Armand's objections. The Tetrast 12:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, NOW I see what Armand meant about interwiki links in the main Peirce article. I had no idea that that list of languages on the side leads to foreign-language articles about Peirce. There needs to be something saying it to the reader like me who is not up on all the Wikipedia arcana The Tetrast 12:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update: Armand is right about interwikis, I've deleted the section

[edit] Bibliografía Peirceana (2006). Huge, and plenty in English.

Grupo de Estudios Peirceanos (Jaime Nubiola et al.) Bibliografía Peirceana (2006). Huge, and plenty in English. I've just found it and there's plenty in there that I had not found yet. The Tetrast 17:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
