Talk:Félix Martí Ibáñez

link to new article on Félix Martí-Ibáñez

NCurse— Thank you for the reversal of the link I inadvertently left behind in Medicine. Can you help me with the problem I encountered at this article while attempting to make a link to Félix Martí-Ibáñez (a new article I have started), who is the author noted in the footnote to his book A Prelude to Medical History?

I do not see a way to make a link to the new article in the Martí-Ibáñez footnote that exists in the section, Ancient World of Medicine, however I see that other footnotes in the same format do have links to the articles on the authors. When I examine those footnotes in the edit window, I do not see evidence of a link, yet it is there. The link must be in the original source for the book somewhere in WP.

Here is the citation,

it reads, ... name=mart90>Martí-Ibáñez, Félix (1961). A Prelude to Medical History. New York: MD Publications, Inc. p. 90. Library of Congress ID: 61-11617.

Where does this citation originate? I am hoping that I can access that citation in its original location so I may make a link to Félix Martí-Ibáñez there, that will be presented automatically with each citation of his book.

I am including a copy of my note to you on the talk page of the new article as well as on my own talk page. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 16:01, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

References

redirect created -- but title should reflect the correct spelling of Félix Martí-Ibáñez

I created a redirect for Félix Martí-Ibáñez that will route inquiries to Félix Martí Ibáñez, however, the article ought to bear the correct spelling of his name.

When I created the new article, the title came up without the hyphen and I can not find a device to correct the title. Any help will be appreciated. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 16:14, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Félix Martí-Ibáñez categories

GoingBatty— Thanks for adding categories to the article, Félix Martí-Ibáñez. Not being familiar with the guidelines for them nor all of the categories, I was reluctant to try more than a few. I do wonder, however, why you have changed some categories I had added and noted his affiliation only as Spanish for all significant categories for him. He emigrated to the U.S. at the age of thirty and became an American citizen. Although he is notable for Spanish culture, he is even more notable for American culture. His contributions to medical literature and history was international, being read by physicians, other professionals, and a world-wide audience among other groups. All of his books were published in English and through the publishing house he founded in Manhattan, where he lived until he died at the age of sixty. His command of English was remarkable. His most important writings were in English and authored after he had emigrated to his new county of citizenship. The vast majority of his professional work was in his adopted country and his clinical writings were in English. Can we reflect this by adding categories related to the thirty years of his professional work after changing citizenship? Or would it be better to revert to my categories regarding his professional work and merely create categories for his birth citizenship and location and also for his adopted citizenship and location? What are your thoughts on this? (Copied to my talk page and the article page also) _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 17:49, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

@83d40m: What drew me to the article was that it was included in Category:Writers. The instructions on the category page state: "Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories." Because the first sentence of the article describes him as a "Spanish physician, psychiatrist, author, and publisher", I changed them each to a "Spanish" subcategory. I also added a humanist category today. If you would like to change each of these to an "American" subcategory based on his American citizenship, that's OK with me.

Category:People from Spain is not a valid category, so I removed it and added Category:People from Cartagena, Spain instead. Likewise, Category:People from United States of America is not a valid category, so I replaced it with Category:Spanish emigrants to the United States. I also added a category for his alma mater.

I'm not sure that Category:Giftedness should include people, but there are other people in that category, so I asked at Category talk:Giftedness Thanks, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 18:24, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I'll be glad to tackle the changes and additions._ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 18:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
