Why No Bibliography Sticky?

[malthaussen]

I'm curious as to why this section doesn't have a bibliography sticky for users to post their "favorite" history books.  Did the moderators decide it was more appropriate to leave such information in the various threads?

Malt I have to say, you're probably the most valued new member for me currently.

I agree. I nominate him for Most Valuable Recruit.

I think your approach will irritate people haha. Clearly this isn't a rigorous history forum, and it doesn't pretend to be.

Malthaussen really is stirring things up on these boards. Light at the end of the tunnel.

I appreciate the sentiments, positive and negative, but they don't address the question.  Surely, I am not the first person to whom it has occurred that there should be a Bibliography sticky here.  That is something that is fundamental to even popular history.  If this hasn't been suggested previously, for some incredible reason, then I suggest it.

There have been a few book threads, it's just that nobody stickied any of them.

 

[malthaussen]

Well, that's the point.  I've already seen in some threads here and there, references to books or suggestions for reading for source material I was unaware of.  I've also seen posts (and received PMs) asking "where can I find out more about this?"  But as these are spread out all over the board, in many different subtopics, it is convenient to have a single, stickied post where all of these suggestions are gathered together.

I agree, such a sticky, and perhaps a few addressing common questions (I doubt most want another pirates vs. ninja or similar discussion.)
