Request for Comments

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:04, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

History of Physics

There is a book by Asimov called "The History of Physics", it is not mentioned anywhere in this article.Lbertolotti (talk) 14:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Asimov wrote or edited over 500 books. They can't all be mentioned in this article. However, there is a separate article called Isaac Asimov bibliography (alphabetical), and there you'll find "The History of Physics". Darkday (talk) 18:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

@Darkday over 500 books! Is that a record by some standard?Lbertolotti (talk) 13:11, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

There are authors who published even more books. See List of prolific writers. Darkday (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Provenance

Listing Asimov as an American author is really bold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.180.174.179 (talk) 08:56, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

What a silly statement. He was an American citizen and aside from his first year or so lived in the U.S. his entire life. So, no, not bold at all. BPK (talk) 13:47, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Agree, silly statement, and no explanation provided. Debresser (talk) 20:33, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
