Cleanup tag: Bibliography needs cutting down

I'm not exactly sure what is being suggested by the following Cleanup tag:

"This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Bibliography needs cutting down"

The bibliography may look a little long because each entry includes more detail than is sometimes included in Wikipedia bibliographic entries, or because of the topic headings. Maybe some of the topic headings should be merged?

Most of the bibliographic entries are cited more than 100 times, according to Google Scholar. Those that are cited fewer times have been highlighted in other references as particularly significant. The only exceptions to this are "Convergence and divergence in ethnic divorce patterns: A research note" and "Post-war patterns of intermarriage in Australia: the Mediterranean experience" (which have been cited around 70 and 60 times respectively). I included these because they represent a significant dimension of Jones' research on ethnic stratification, namely, intermarriage between ethnic groups.

At the moment the bibliography includes 15 publications in total. Is this a lot? It might be worth noting that this is less than the number of publications listed in the bibliographies for many of Jones' peers, including the following Australian sociologists and Fellows of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia: A. G. L. Shaw, Adam Possamai, Angela Woollacott, Anna Wierzbicka, Ariel Salleh, Bill Gammage, Bill Martin (sociologist), Bryan Turner (sociologist), Catherine Waldby, David Day (historian), David Horner, Fay Gale, Frank Cameron Jackson, Geoffrey Blainey, Geoffrey Bolton, Hank Nelson, Harold Brookfield, Henry Reynolds (historian), Ian McAllister (political scientist), James Jupp, John Robert Victor Prescott, Joy Damousi, Judy Wajcman, Ken Inglis, Lisa Hill (political scientist), Marcia Langton, Michael Clyne, Michael Flood, Michael Keane (economist), Peter Beilharz, Peter Robert Saunders, Philip Pettit, Robert O'Neill (historian), Roberta Perkins, Susan Magarey, Tom Nairn, Tony Bennett (sociologist), Wilfrid Prest, William Rubinstein.

JamesMahmudRice, I thought it was too long, but now that I look at it again, it may just have been the unusual number of headings. I will remove the tag, although trying to combine some of the sections might be good. I think 6 subsections is a bit much. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 00:56, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JamesMahmudRice and CaptainEek, I tried my hand at an initial combining of sections. 14.202.71.30 (talk) 03:45, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thats better, thank you! CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 03:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! I'll give some thought to combining the sections even more. JamesMahmudRice (talk) 15:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
