Talk:Barbara Hambly

message: Hambly writes in the first sentence of the book's afterword, "The Emancipator's Wife is a work of fiction", so I've taken the liberty of changing the category to "historical fiction".   Cactus Wren 00:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Please understand using the proper syntax/ words is appropriate, even if you didn't place it. “Hambly has a penchant for genre-twisting characters” is an opinion of the person you are citing as a review, please note it is not a professional, nor peer review, but a reader review and again it is an opinion which makes the “ is said to have” not only appropriate but nessary, if you are going to keep the opinion and link. Secondly, “She also tends towards” in not proper grammar, and people do not use that syntax to speak. The fact that the reviewer thinks she offers up “rich descriptions and vivid characters is great, but improperly worded. SO I fixed it. Simply reverting my editing for the sake that it is not yours goes against Wiki policy. Please follow proper Wiki protocols. --Mystar 19:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Previous occupations include a high-school teacher, a model, a waitress, a technical editor, an all-night liquor store clerk, and a karate instructor, occupations that she felt allowed her time to write.[2]
Factual and accurate “She searched for a job that would allow her time to write”.
:Since she searched for a job that would allow her time to write, she wasn't looking for something she felt allowed her time to write.  She chose jobs that allowed her time to write.  20:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect.  She did not attend UC@R in 1975, she graduated in 1975, spending time in France as part of her studies.  There is no time frame for her attending school, only for when she graduated.  An MA takes more than a year to complete, therefore we don't know when she started.  Graduated in 1975 is the correct information.  The text is reverted and modified to reflect this.20:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

text: This is plagiarism if you do not put it in quotations, the use of spot-on is a direct lift from the website and the statement made does not justify the use of a quotation.  I've added a second reference which supports her work particularly with Leia.  This justifies isolating these characters specifically.
Wikipedia is an encyclepidic work, not the place for inflecting personal thoughts on what you want it to say, when the material doesn’t say it. Please keep in mind the Wikiepidia Help page for futrue editing help. This could help in eliminating future mistakes of content.
I hope I've been helpful in your learning proccess--Mystar 18:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
