Georg Forster[edit]

The majority of the article is a translation from the German featured article. Some additional work has been done with regard to his position towards Poland. I, as one of the editors who contributed to the article, kindly ask to give suggestions on what can be improved. alx-pl D 17:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article. I would recommend changing the structure somewhat; instead of all of those subsections under "Biography" make the first section "Early life" and bring the other sections up to the same level. Instead of "Foster as a professor" something like "Academic career" translates better. One of the section titles, if it is a reference to a work of his, should be italicized or put into quotations.

Thank you very much for your comment. The suggestion to make the sections up is fine. I'll change it. The formulation "Academic career" is a bit misleading though, as one may argue that he started the career much earlier. What do you think about "Forster at universities"? I'll also italicise the Views... section title. Again, thank you for your remarks. alx-pl D 20:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How many inline citations should an article like this have? Are inline citations necessary at all for general biographical things mentioned in any biography? Kusma (討論) 23:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
