Bibliography

[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

Dates of New Yorker issues for stories

[edit]

I just discovered that many (if not all) of the dates for the issues in which Coates's stories appear--taken from the New Yorker's own website!--are off by at least a couple of days. It will take a while to fix this, but I will try to get back to this eventually. Krimp Varkey (talk) 10:20, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
