Talk:Buried by the Times

Rationale for POV tag

An individual contacted the Wikimedia Foundation observing that this book has been reviewed quite a number of times, generally positively, yet this article devotes a material portion of the text to a quote from one critical review.

I think it would be helpful if editors could read some of the other reviews, and determine how best to cover the critical commentary.

I haven't done an exhaustive search, but here are two examples, and there are several others:

• Joe Eskenazi
• George Jochnowitz--SPhilbrick(Talk) 21:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I have taken the first step by putting in more representative reviews. I do need to clean up even those references. My next step will be rewrite the text above the Reception section and remove parts that don't really relate to the book.--Joel Mc (talk) 12:21, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

I plan to do more on this, but it seems to me that we can lift the POV tag already. Any objections. The Etcetera section doesn't seem to belong to the book, but to Leff's research. She no longer has her own page. Should we delete section or?--Joel Mc (talk) 11:41, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven't got the references right yet, will work on it later.Joel Mc (talk) 14:07, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

I believe that the tag is no longer appropriate, unless there are any objections, I will remove it on 3 November --Joel Mc (talk) 14:00, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Format

Making note of this link as much for my benefit as anyone's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Books/Non-fiction_article needs to be followed here, and it isn't. Coretheapple (talk) 00:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Oregon State University lecture

The current link (in External links) is broken. Would it be better to replace it with https://media.oregonstate.edu/media/t/0_p5lybac7 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmOvcYT_48c or include both links? Mcljlm (talk) 00:38, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Quotes

It would be better for references quoting Leff to be to the book's pages as is the case with citations 2 and 8 or at least added. The article's first Beckerman-Leff quote ("500,000 persons ...") is on p.221, the second ("I have been trying to instruct ...") on p.192.

The citation 1 link, Goldman, is broken. Perhaps the references could be replaced with citations to the pages to which Goldman as quoted in the article appears to be referring. Mcljlm (talk) 03:30, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
