Indeed. A very intelligent friend of mine said he often finds the talk
page as interesting as the article itself. He described them as a
'Talmudic commentary'. I keep meaning to make sure that I always read
the talk page after scanning an article but I don't seem to have
implanted that idea in my head with sufficient rigour yet, I tend to
forget.

I've sometimes used the talk page to list research resources that I've
used that I don't feel would be quite right to put as external links
on the article itself.
