This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Nicholas Thompson (2020-05-24). "The rise of Wikipedia as a source of medical information". CBS Sunday Morning. Retrieved 2020-05-24. When Thompson started working on this story, he looked himself up on Wikipedia, and someone had edited his entry to describe him as 'a Martian technology journalist.'

link to book title with persons/events named in them[edit]

There was no link to the page for Thompson's book at its first mention. However, both the named persons in the title were linked. I added a link to the main title, which may be confusing, but the book's page has only that part as its title.

I'd like to suggest removing the link to Paul Nitze in this first instance and only linking to his page at the next mention. But George Kennan and the Cold War would still be linked, possibly causing confusion. I'll leave that decision to people higher in the food chain than I.

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. 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.
