Historical Dictionary of Switzerland

Hi, I'm updating this article with the fr translation and with new content. I noticed the originating editors used an "Infobox website" for the article which seems odd since subject is an encyclopedia. Would it be considered normal to use something "book series" and tack on a website infobox at the end so I can retain the logo. On the fr wikipedia, the book view of the encyclopedia image is inside the infobox, but they have a specific encyclopedia infobox, which we don't seem to have. It looks kind of odd at the moment and any help is appreciated. scope_creep^Talk 08:20, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Carol Sklenicka

Would some members of this WikiProject take a look at Carol Sklenicka? The article seems to start out as a BLP about Sklenicka but the focus then shifts to being mainly about two of her books. Perhaps there's enough about each of these books per WP:NBOOK for separate articles to be created about each of these books? -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Article about John Ogilby's Britannia: advice requested for better article name.

I've been working to improve the biographic article about John Ogilby (1600–1676), aiming to get it up to GA standard. The article had a large section about one of his books, Britannia (1675) [1], for which he is renowned among cartographers as it is the first ever reasonably accurate road map. Unfortunately for a biography article, it was WP:OFFTOPIC and space it took WP:UNDUE. So I split the article, leaving a small section in the biography and moved the material about the book to a new article just about Britannia.

I started by calling it Ogilby's "Britannia", but I've been advised that this doesn't comply with the house style. I had considered Britannia (Ogilby) but that's just ugly. Another option is to just drop the scare quotes – Ogilby's Britannia – which does have some external recognition. But in cartography circles, there is only one Britannia and it doesn't need disambiguation. Nevertheless, we do have Britannia (disambiguation) so I have to resolve it. I can't see anything obvious at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (books) that addresses it.
