message: The material in this article is basically correct, though it needs better sourcing. I have access to much of the documentary material (plus copies of Crawdaddy!, Williams' books, etc.).  I will try to get to the sourcing shortly. 
Also, unless he just moved, Williams lives in Encinitas, CA, not San Diego. He may have lived in San Diego for a little while a couple of years ago. --Pleasantville 19:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: I intend to flesh this section out to make it deserving of a section. It will include significant highlights including authorship of the 1975 Rolling Stone article which is widely credited with introducing Dick to a large segment of the general US population, publication of only mainstream PKD novel published during his lifetime and acting as literary executor of PKD's estate for roughly a decade. This is not the only section that should be created to cover the career and life of Paul Williams to present but it is the one I have the sources at hand to adequately edit. I would think there should be sections on Journalism, Publishing, Writing, Activism (not necessarily with those awkward titles, of course) and other subjects for a proper article.
Williams engaged in small press publishing and books I cite here may differ from first publication publishers because I have mass market copies. I trust any possible concerns about self-published sources will be allied by the later publication by other publishers and common sense. Crawdaddy online is not self-publication. Williams is mentioned there because he founded the original magazine, revived it for a second print incarnation and the online version is published by person or corporation that bought the name from him for a third incarnation. He may have contributed some original material to it (I haven't checked that) but hasn't been editor of it or actively involved so far as I know though on the talk page I think it is OK to state it seems likely his decision to sell the name for a new incarnation was probably dependent on his sense of what the online publication would be like, not just a commercial decision.

message: For Neil Young: Love To Burn: London, New York, Paris, Sydney: Omnibus Press.  (1997) I used the ISBN in a library copy pasted over what seems to be a different ISBN (or an ISBM?) and an Order Number. I don't know the reason the library did this but the covered number seems to start ISBM not ISBN and may be due to this copy being printed in the United Kingdom and perhaps some change taking place at the time related to cataloging.
