I'm removing "The Firebird(1979)" from the list of Zahn's novels as I am certain it must be a mistake.  It only comes up in search results that look like bibliographies all erroneously copied from the same source.  
I think that the mistake was made because the alphabetically close "George Zebrowski" actually published a book called "The Firebird" in 1979.
This page 
http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/bibliography/fsfstorieswhoz01.htm
references Zebrowski's "The Firebird", referring to it as a young adult novel.  
These other bibliography sites are not to be trusted.  This one
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?181740
claims that Zahn published something called "Perfect Joy of St. Francis" in 1974, a year before he actually launched his writing career.
This whole thing is both hilarious and a bit unsettling.

I get a title record error on that isfbd link, now, too bad, it sounded interesting.Alpha Ralpha Boulevard (talk) 03:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The firebird 

message: Everything in the writing style segment of the entry is centered in his Star Wars books.  As good as those books are, they only form a small part of his writings.  Is there anyone who has read his other books or can take other views and bind them into a cohisive entry? TychoZzyx
I've read the Thrawn Trilogy, I've also read the Cascade Point collection, Spinnaret, A Coming of Age, The Icarus Hunt, Angelmass, Manta's Gift, and The Green and the Gray.  But anything I'd be putting in the entry would be original research.  The Literate Engineer 02:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Writing Style 

message: Didn't Zahn write a brief serialized story in the Star Wars Insider fan club magazine?  I seem to remember it was a Clone Wars era story, but I don't see it listed under "Star Wars Works".  Twineball 00:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why are there two subsections labelled "Other Novels"? Should these be melded together?

thread_title:  Two subsections 

message: I didn't really know where else to ask this, but does anyone know for certain that there have been no articles written about the Dragonback series? I have been searching, but so far, nothing has come up. If it is true that there is no article already created, I was thinking about working on one. I just wanted the thoughts of the people who have worked on the Zhan article, because if I do eventually write the Dragonback article, there should be a link between there and here.

thread_title:  Missing Article? 

message: I've removed some of the wikilinks in the Shorter Works section.  The one for Teamwork led to an article about the concept of teamwork, not the short story.  The ones for Spinneret led to an article for the anatomical structure.  There is an existing article for the novel Spinneret, but there doesn't appear to be one for the short story.
Also, why are there entries for Spinneret (part 1 of 4), (part 2 of 4), and (part 3 of 4)?  Were there actually three parts, or was there a fourth one which was never published? Nick Number (talk) 15:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shorter Works wikilinks 

message: The 'Shorter Works' subsection is under the 'Star Wars' section, but it seems to have accumulated a lot of non-Star Wars works in it. Should these other works be split off into a new main section? It certainly seems like there's enough of them. 141.211.198.115 (talk) 17:26, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Shorter works' content confusion 

message: This sentence in the [career section] (pasted below) is unclear and needs editing:
"Lucasfilm at times referred to some of the more detailed Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game supplements from West End Games, and when Zahn started work on a new trilogy of Star Wars books, boxes of West End sourcebooks were delivered to him."
I'd edit it myself, but I'm not even sure what it's trying to say.
