Talk:Hal Clement

message: I am not convinced that Mesklin is truly Superjovian. Even Clement had to revise his calculations regarding its maximum gravity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 (talk) 09:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I believe Hal Clement is known better for his short SF rather than his novels. Does anyone think it's worthwhile to start a subsection of the biblio for these?  Jon Dowland 21:53, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I would find that kind of a subsection very helpful if it also included authorities stating which of his shorter stories were worthy of reading.   Probably they are all worth reading, but including an authority's name would lend credence to the subsection.   Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 10:01, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: As far as I could tell, Hal Clement had a camera surgically attached to his body. At least, for the better part of 20 years I never met him without one. He was also fond of snakes, and if I happened to have one with me at an SF con (back in a more laid-back era) I usually wound up having to retrieve it from him at least once.

thread_title: Personal stuff that doesn't belong in Wikipedia, but I wanted to share

message: "Compared with contemporary science fiction authors like Isaac Asimov or Poul Anderson, Clement was parsimonious in naming fictional planets." I'm a fan of both Asimov and Clement, but I don't understand that sentence. He was stingy when it came to making up names for planets? What does that even mean?

replies: text: I think it actually means he didn't create many named fictional planets compared to Asimov or Anderson. This si true, but then it is true of almost all SF writers. It should probably be copy-edited. DES (talk) 22:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planets 

message: I have created and filled the "Short stories, novelettes and novellas" section; I hope to have done an exhaustive work. I have improved the "Works" section (now called "Books") with as much information as I have found; and I have started the "Articles and Introductions" section. In this one, however, work remains to be done: In the webpage http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?233, under Essays, there are much more articles penned by Hal Clement, which should be added to that Wikipedia section.

thread_title:  Sections on Short Stories, Novelettes and Novellas and on Articles and Introductions (which needs more work)
