:::I added references to the bibliography subpage, almost simultaneously with Kim adding the same references as footnotes to the main text. (It is most likely no coincidence that we added the same references, I got them from the site of the Dutch Academy and I bet Kim did the same). Now the question is, do we keep both sets of references? Or do we keep one? If the latter which one: footnotes or bibliography? Is there a CZ policy on this?--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 03:55, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Approval nomination

I'm no scientist but in my reading this clearly needs to be nominated for approval.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 14:11, 1 October 2007 (CDT)

I agree. I made some minor changes, and I wonder if it would be possible to add references to the major works of him, so that people actually can find those if they want. I moved some stuff to subpages, and I need some definitions of terms in the related articles section, which could use probably a few more. Kim van der Linde 07:05, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
I added a few references to Van der Waals' major works and their translations.--Paul Wormer 08:40, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
I added references to the bibliography subpage, almost simultaneously with Kim adding the same references as footnotes to the main text. (It is most likely no coincidence that we added the same references, I got them from the site of the Dutch Academy and I bet Kim did the same). Now the question is, do we keep both sets of references? Or do we keep one? If the latter which one: footnotes or bibliography? Is there a CZ policy on this?--Paul Wormer 03:55, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
In-article footnotes would be for works you are relying on to craft the article, I'd think. The Bibliography subpage here could contain all of JDvdW's works plus whatever relevant scholarly work about him you deem fitting. Stephen Ewen 05:24, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
