I have on occasion

been accused of willfully disregarding policies and procedures and general intentions, I see it otherwise, but have, over the decades, learned to ask first, then make a fool of myself. So. I have a collection of books that I use for reference and that I believe could/should go in here, but am not sure. For example there is: (cut & pasteed from my list on my computer) Proske, Beatrice Gilman, Brookgreen Gardens Sculpture, Brookgreen Gardens, 1968, which, after a brief introduction is a series of biographies of mostly American sculptors and their significant works. Does that belong? Then there is the "Who's Who in American Art" series, this being one of the ones I have: McGlauflin, ed., Who’s Who in American Art 1938-1939 vol.2, The American Federation of Arts, Washington D.C., 1937. Do these all belong here? And there are more, but if I receive an answer to these two I can hopefully make good decisions afterwards. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate country entries

Due to the unclear definitions of certain continental subdivisions, some countries appear in multiple locations. "Armenia", for example, appears in sections Western Asia (here), Caucasus (here), and Eastern Europe (here).

At a minimum, all of the content should be consolidated and placed in one of the regions, either the first one, or perhaps the most logical one if there's an obvious choice, with a "See"-type reference there; e.g. "See Armenia at Caucasus", or similar in the other locations.
