Talk:Fred Alan Wolf

message: Gnostic, you suggested the Courtney Brown website as evidence for a claim in the article.  Unfortunately this website seems to be registered to Courtney Brown, who seems to himself be involved in promoting the alleged phenomenon of "remote viewing".  In general, partisan websites are not reliable sources of information about highly controversial topics.
Please see WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:CITE, WP:VAIN for some useful guidelines.  ---CH 23:28, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: BTW, isn't referring to "Fred" a little too informal for an encyclopedia article?  Someone should fix this, and generally tone the thing down a bit.---CH 09:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW, he seems to favour "Fred" himself, at least judging by a group photo of members of the Fundamental Fysiks [sic] Group in New Scientist magazine of 25 June 2011 with the credit line "Fred Alan Wolf", which illustrates a review - of a new book centred on the Group - that also refers to him by that name. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.201.110.171 (talk) 20:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The following appears on Wolf's website:Dr. Wolf's fascination with the world of physics began one afternoon as a child at a local matinee, when the newsreel revealed the awesome power and might of the world's first atomic explosion. This fascination continued, leading Wolf to study mathematics and physics.
In 1963, he received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UCLA and began researching the field of high atmospheric particle behavior following a nuclear explosion.These statements are attributed in the article, but not identified as direct quotes, and as such the article should be tweaked to quote the website (e.g. 'According to Wolf's website, his "fascination with the world . . ." '). Direct quotes must be enclosed by quotes ("  "), otherwise the reader would assume the author of this article was the author of those statements, which isn't true. I'll try a quick fix, but hopefully a more experienced Wikipedian will step in and clean up. -24.91.74.91 03:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: can specify ethnicity if we consider it notable (Why?) and reliable ("Ethnicity should be supported with a citation from a reliable source" --infobox documentation). In my opinion there are about six other fields that would be more valuable to complete. --P64 (talk) 00:17, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I have revised the publication dates for Taking the Quantum Leap from 1989 and 1982 to 1981 —as the 1982 award date implies; Barnes & Noble confirms. 
The Books list should be ordered chronologically for first editions. In order to fit that norm, I have moved Quantum Leap up to the top after revising its date, and I have also moved up the 1984 book —without confirming or correcting any first edition publication date except the 1981. 
The Biography section should also be chronological, at least roughly, and it should say that Quantum Leap was his first book, if so. I have made no change there --P64 (talk) 00:04, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
