Moving on

He's dead, we know he's dead, we now have reliable sources that say he's dead. Can we move on now and keep any discussions about policies to their respective talk pages. There is a good couple of thousand words above of general uncivility and very few improvements to the article itself, can we get on with it now? Please? Foxhill 22:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, by all means, bury all evidence of how asinine, petty and ridiculously childish Wikipedia admins can be. This entire episode is a good lesson in why they are known the internet over as sociopathic clowns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.100.11.23 (talk) 06:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Can I just point out how hilarious it is that the ONLY REFERENCING in this whole article is to prove that he's dead? ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 07:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have this day started something that I've been meaning to do for 4 years now: Turning Fred's page here into something like a true bibliography, which I've done earlier with the entries of Brian Stableford, Charles Sheffield & Nancy Kress. Sources: ISFDB, The Locus Index of Science Fiction, Abebooks, Amazon, etc. Hopefully, I'll finish tomorrow. Tom Dean (talk) 21:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And a big thanks to whomever (or whatever) sent the message about the faulty link to Daniel Abraham's entry. After reviewing my work this morning, I found that the link to author Ed Bryant was faulty as well. Be careful, Tom! Tom Dean (talk) 17:17, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update: A few days ago, I received a memo in My Talk about my posting of a Bibliography in the entry of Nancy Kress. Apparently, some consider the entry to be "gigantic" and too daunting to a "casual" Wikipedia user , whatever that is. Consequently, I will be spending the next week or so creating collapsible tables for the entries that I have edited at Wikipedia, including Saberhagen's here.
