Today i revised the template, reported "in progress" at Talk, and commented on the previous comments which both remain relevant. Beside development of that template, that Talk pertains to the development of this bibliography. --P64 (talk) 18:22, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject:Bilbiography says tables are preferred. If anyone has suggestions for layout of them I'd love to hear.--Savonneux (talk) 04:11, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The only advice at WikiProject Bibliographies is that a given article should not mix bulleted lists with tables. RockMagnetist(talk) 03:18, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I did the whole thing in tables in a draft. To be honest it looks stupid. Reverted the few I put in here.--Savonneux (talk) 07:00, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Savonneux: "removing all the stuff I added because I don't have time to work on it" --Why not work in your Sandbox? That way you can work in bits & snatches when you have time. Then, when you're ready, you can check for intervening edits and put your work up on the page. --Thnidu (talk) 20:22, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll leave it up to you whether to include it separately or not. This is a grand task you’ve taken on, and I salute your perseverance. I’ll help as I can, filling in some of the cracks, but it’ll be intermittent. — Gorthian (talk) 06:44, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gorthian: Thanks for your cleanup earlier today, and for your encouragement. At the moment I have left out all standalone poems, just to keep the task manageable; Le Guin's output was prodigious. If you feel it should be included, I'm happy to discuss it further. Cheers, Vanamonde (talk) 07:08, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gorthian: I'm just wondering; if you're using WorldCat for locations, would it be possible for you to add those links as refs? It's a bit nitpicky I know...Vanamonde (talk) 05:28, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanamonde93: I’m actually using any number of sources for the locations and publishers. I’ll be happy to add refs for those, but I’ll have to bone up on the Harvard-style citation method. I’ll probably just copy you. :-) WorldCat isn’t much use, really — too many different editions and not enough organization. Some of the locations I got by looking at photos of the original works on selling sites. I’m not sure how I would reference those. — Gorthian (talk) 21:14, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gorthian: Oh I see. Well; unless you're using multiple sets of pages from a single book, you don't have to use the harvard style; you can just create a named reference and stick it in everywhere. Otherwise, copying is fine. If you've looked at photos, what I would do is to cite the work in question. For place of publication primary sources are fine. Cheers, Vanamonde (talk) 04:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this, unlike most every other bibliography on Wikipedia, not in chronological order? Morganfitzp (talk) 03:46, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because that is how most bibliographies of Le Guin organize it; by structure, then by setting, then by chronology. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:06, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@

My understanding is that it has no previously unpublished material, so okay to remove by that criteria czar 01:02, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
