Talk:Diane Duane

message: We will have permission to use Diane Duane's official biography from owlsprings.com as the basis of this article. This is an excerpt from an e-mail I received this morning:
Date: Sat, 04 Dec 2004 10:57:01 +0000
To: Rob Brewer 
From: Diane Duane 
Subject: Re: Copyvio on "my" Wikipedia entry?
I'm in the midst of work right now, but next week sometime I'll do an updated version of the material and post it along to you, with whatever formal permissions are necessary for GDFL...
Thanks, Diane. --rbrwr± 17:11, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Why do we double the info on the Young_Wizards series here? And it's not even in sync... --84.176.11.182 6 July 2005 09:41 (UTC)
I removed the 2005 date from The Door into Starlight because Meisha Merlin, the intended publisher, states on their website that "We have released Diane Duane from her contract for this series with us, so that she may complete other projects."  I assume this means it has reverted to the "due out someday" status that it has maintained for the past decade.  --Ambyr 23:12, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  doubled content? 

message: According to her blog he's her "six-times-great-grandfather".
I'm sure we could find sources which would be more acceptable to more people, but this is just to make a mark.

thread_title:  Related to [[James Duane]] 

message: Duane's Star Trek novel "Doctor's Orders" is listed here as TOS #50.  This is confirmed by an article at Memory Alpha: 
However, I own a copy of this novel myself, and my copy is definately numbered as TOS #36.  Is there any possibility that different versions of this publication make use of different numbering systems?    —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John1701 (talk • contribs). 
:Interesting: #36 is supposed to be "How Much for Just the Planet?". I just Googled around, and every reference I found had it at #50. It'd be interesting to include if you could scan and post the cover with the wrong number...--SarekOfVulcan 13:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To coin a phrase, "Fascinating." :-) Thanks for the followup! Wonder if we should get this info into the main article...--SarekOfVulcan 01:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I think that we should go with the Pocket numbers, since that's the original publication order.--SarekOfVulcan 22:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a free image here on flickr, but is it her? --Magnus Manske 12:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, it matches the picture at http://www.dianeduane.com/?q=about-the-author. Besides, I think Patrick Nielsen Hayden is probably a reliable source for identification... I'll upload and link. Thanks! :-)--SarekOfVulcan 16:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm avoiding editing this due to some WP:COI (I'm editing together a new edition of this material), but in the section on comics, the publisher of The Dreamery is currently listed as Epic Comics; the series actually came from Eclipse Comics. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:57, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Publisher correction 

message: Having never met the lady or actually heard her name said, I was hoping that Wikipedia would have had the answer to my biggest question: Is her last name pronounced as a single syllable (like the common masculine first name) or is it pronounced with two syllables (and, if so, how? "Doo - ann" or "Doo - ayne"?)? --Khajidha (talk) 12:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Five years later, the answer comes:  a single syllable, just like you'd expect.  Everyone But You (talk) 02:20, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Except "just like you'd expect" is an assumption. I've always pronounced it "Doo--Ayne".--Khajidha (talk) 13:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  E & K, Khalijidha's pronunciation is how I assumed it was pronounced ("doo-wayne" / "doo-ayne") for the past 30 years, as well (related to its origin Dubhán which is pronounced similar to "doo-van"). I came here today because I heard Robert Burnett pronounce her name differently, so wanted to see if WP had any info on pronunciation. Is there any sources to go on, and can we include it in the WP article's lede? — al-Shimoni (talk) 12:02, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Clicked on the link but could not find any info about Duane doing the map for Ringworld: Engineers.
Need someone to verify or delete reference/inline citation. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 16:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "References" #21 

message: In the comics heading, Duane's Prince Ivan material is mentioned. However, when the material was collected in The Misadventures of Prince Ivan (About Comics, 2011), there was a new story that had been drawn for the book, the 28-page tale "Prince Ivan and the Bachelor Parties of Doom", and that should probably be mentioned as well. As the publisher of that book and the editor of that story, I have a strong conflict of interest and will not be adding it myself. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
