The Wang Gungwu Prize[edit]

It seems odd that there's no mention of this prize (actually three prizes every year), which is funded by a large donation from Professor Wang. 90.197.127.165 (talk) 18:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have resumed the tidy-up of the Bibliography section (which I began in 2009, but have long neglected):

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sunwin1960 For a prolific writer/author, perhaps we should do a selected listing of important or highly cited works only. Currently the bibliography is longer than the article about him. A curated listing will benefit the reader as well, instead of having a long list of every single work which a reader might just skip it. Thanks. JASWE (talk) 07:06, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I have created a separate Bibliography article for him. The Bibliography section in his main article can now be culled. Sunwin1960 (talk) 00:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sunwin1960 Thank you for the split into another article! JASWE (talk) 05:24, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
