Hi there Pat!  Why add notes to a list of works?  I don't get it.  All the bibliographic information that you would put in a note belongs in the original citation; that's what a list of works is, a bibliography of works written by the subject of the article.  (For this reason, there is no need to put "Claude Shannon" before the title of the work.)  See [[:Category:Works Subpages]] for examples. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 12:30, 9 May 2008 (CDT)

Hi there Pat! Why add notes to a list of works? I don't get it. All the bibliographic information that you would put in a note belongs in the original citation; that's what a list of works is, a bibliography of works written by the subject of the article. (For this reason, there is no need to put "Claude Shannon" before the title of the work.) See Category:Works Subpages for examples. --Larry Sanger 12:30, 9 May 2008 (CDT)

The full text of that article is available online, can I just link to it right in the list? Sorry to be so clueless about style here. Feel free to fix it like you think it should be; I learn well from examples, and not so well from explanations.Pat Palmer 16:17, 9 May 2008 (CDT)
