Book of the New Sun[edit]

The problem I have with all these sub-genres ans sub-sub-genres is they have no clear definitions and limits. Probably the best definition is that the genre is assigned by what is hoped will create the largest sales: is s-f big it's s-f; is fantasy big it's s-fantasy; could it sell as mainstream then s-f and fantasy disappear from the cover; and is the author known as a s-f writer then his historical novel is gonna be in the s-f section of the bookstore. But I don't think that idea would fly well in the articles.Nitpyck (talk) 00:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Jplatt39! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,195 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Harold Gray[edit]

Hey there, I saw your message about the Harold Gray page. Said vandalism has now been reverted. To do this yourself, go to the history page and compare diffs until you find a stable version, and edit (and save) that page with an edit summary something like "reverting back to last stable version". Hope that helps! -- Casmith_789 (talk) 12:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 17[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Bau (singer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sao Vicente (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Charles W. Schwartz[edit]

Hello, Jplatt39. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Charles W. Schwartz, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ad Orientem (talk) 21:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
