I'm unsure why this article needs a bibliography section, rather than including the associated titles in the present References section. While its a Help essay rather than policy, it appears to me that this is a good example of the merging of Specific and Detailed references, as depicted in the [[Help:References#Additional_Information|Additional Info]] section of the References how-to page. I propose merging the two sections into References. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 04:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

:I actually did this without thinking. Comes from my BA in history—"always separate the endnotes from the bibliography since they serve different purposes." Which may not apply in a wiki situation {{emoticon|:P}}. The more that I think about it, the more I believe that they should be separated for major articles like this. References should refer to specific topics (and page numbers), but a bibliography allows a much broader scope. This whole rant is probably more appropriate to the [[Help:References#Additional_Information|Additional Info]] section. I'll move it there. {{ebakunin sig}}.

Help

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/2306 Who is this non-Marik?--— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by Moosegod (talkcontribs) 21:08, 19 August 2008 .

From House Marik Sourcebook, p 11:
In 2306 however, after Parliment signed the Ryerson Accords, a member of the Selaj family was elected Captain-General in order to help the Capellan Hegemony fight the Sarna Supremacy.
That's all there is. But, you might find it helpful to have the PDF for your own review.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 00:26, 20 August 2008 (CDT)
Should article be expanded to list various providence of the FWL and list the ranks of the military? Or should be seperated in own articles? -- Wrangler 14:28, 18 May 2009 (PDT)

Ranks definitely should go on FWLM much like the AFFS and DCMS pages, with a short list/description of the provinces with links out full articles. FWL is presently leading all states with number of provinces that have full/partial articles at the moment. Cyc 14:48, 18 May 2009 (PDT)

Bibliography

I'm unsure why this article needs a bibliography section, rather than including the associated titles in the present References section. While its a Help essay rather than policy, it appears to me that this is a good example of the merging of Specific and Detailed references, as depicted in the Additional Info section of the References how-to page. I propose merging the two sections into References. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 04:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
