==Non-scholarly books==
This is joke books, etc. Whatever they are, they could be cited here. Remember, this is the bibliography for the biography of Thomas L. Saaty, so it should be limited to only his works.
 
==Papers==
Do we want to list any papers in this bibliography? If so, we need to decide on a format, and on which papers to list. We need a sample in Wikipedia-preferred format, and maybe in some other formats as well.

==Notes about this draft==
 
===Looking for the best format for this bibliography===
''Here we are trying to determine the best format for citing Saaty's books on this site. ''
 
The format for the books in the AHP series (above) seems to be a good one for our purpose, but it is different from the various "standard" formats that are commonly used for bibliographies.
 
Below are shown "started from scratch" citation examples for the same ISBN, cited in different formats using various tools. The tools aren't necessarily consistent. Authors vary. Titles vary, and might not include the longest version, which is probably what we want to show. Exact name of the publisher varies.
 
:{{cite book |author=Vargas, Luis G.; Saaty, Thomas L.; Kearns, Kevin Corrigan |title=Analytical planning: the organization of systems |publisher=RWS |location=Pittsburgh, PA |year=1991 |pages= |isbn=0-9620317-3-9 |oclc= |doi=}} -- From Template Builder
 
:{{cite book | last = Saaty | first = Thomas | title = Analytical Planning | publisher = RWS | location = Pittsburgh | year = 1991 | isbn = 0962031739 }} -- From OttoBib in WP format
 
::(Complete WP format is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book HERE])
 
:Saaty, Thomas et.al. <u>Analytical Planning</u>. Pittsburgh: RWS, 1991. -- From OttoBib in MLA format
 
:Saaty, T., Kearns, K., & Vargas, L. (1991). ''Analytical Planning''. Pittsburgh: RWS. -- From OttoBib in APA format
 
:Saaty, Thomas et.al. ''Analytical Planning''. Pittsburgh: RWS, 1991. -- From OttoBib in Chicago/Turabian format
 
:This is what OttoBib gives for BibTeX format:
@Book{saaty1991,
author = 'Saaty, Thomas',
title = 'Analytical Planning',
publisher = 'RWS',
year = '1991',
address = 'Pittsburgh',
isbn = '0962031739'
}
 
==="Cite Books" template===
Wikipedia has a template called "Cite Books" that might be useful on Citizendium. See the details [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book HERE]. It looks pretty good, and seems to include most of the useful fields. It doesn't include the number of pages, though. Some of the items don't show up on Citizendium, but that's a minor problem that will probably disappear over time.
