[edit] Style for publications
Does the list under "Publications" contain the exact names of the works? If so, Wiki-style for short works (papers, essays) is double quotes. Eg.
- 1773 "Experiments on different kinds of Marle found in Staffordshire" Phil Trans. 63: 161-2
I've also applied Wiki-style to the "Further reading" list - I hope this is OK. Cheers, JackyR | Talk 12:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes they virtually all are the titles as published. Thanks v much for letting me know, and for tidying up the further reading list - I have corrected the refs. where appropriate! Kitb 21:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Withering As Investigator
Shouldn't somebody write an account of Withering's investigations into folk medicine? That's how he discovered the effects of foxglove, and from whence he derived _digitalis_. It would be no shame to discuss his researches. 128.147.28.1 (talk) 14:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
