message: I have begun the process of improving the referencing and citations in the article. I'm a novice editor, not completely familiar with all the commands and formats to use, so please help me with the process and make corrections where necessary! VJDocherty 12:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a bit puzzled by the latest changes to the references and external links. Do the quotes need to be so long? Shouldn't they be linked to specific parts of the article? Also some of the items moved to external links such at the reference to 'Stars in my Eyes' are surely better as references? Not being an expert I won't change things, but advice would be appreciated.

replies: text: Agreed. I've trimmed them a little. I have no idea how to link to a specific section or paragraph within, say, Rob Hansen's Then. Ghostwords 17:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This isn't notable, is it? Please explain whhy you think it is notable.  I mean it would probably pass an AfD because there are a lot of sci-fi fans on wiki, but please explain for the majority of the world that isn't into these things.:)Merkinsmum 22:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Birmingham Science Fiction Group is the UK's longest-established regional sf organisation (1971+), running the UK's longest-established regional sf event, Novacon (1972+). It also publishes a series of highly-prized limited-edition chapbooks (1979+). I believe this meets the notability requirements, and I am not alone in that view.
