Moved Selected works to the talk page

[edit]

The following selected works has been moved to the talk page, because it practically contains a full biography of Forbes work, twice. Also I don't understand the logic of the whole thing. Instead of giving it might be better to give a summary in written text. -- Mdd (talk) 00:54, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of the data listed below is (now) restored in the article in the new format. -- Mdd (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
