message: does anyone think there should be a second article showing the list of books instead of having it in this article?
:That would be a pretty good idea, because i think he has more books then what is shown on the page Salavat 15:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I just recently compiled a complete list of the "World of Adventure" series.
But im having doubts on whether or not the last 4 books on the list are renamed and reprinted versions of an earlier book in the series.
*Devil's Wall
*Perfect Danger
*Treasure Ship
*Video Trap
Also im pretty sure "Devil's Wall" is a reprint of "The Rock Jockeys", but im not 100% sure, so i added it for now.
If any one can figure this out that would be great. Salavat 15:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: On the December 23 version of this article (and probably some subsequent versions), it said that Paulsen was 'also known by his pen name, Phillip Paulman'. Is this information true? If so, it should be re-inserted into the article. If not, I'd like to know. Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 22:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: In 1983, as per the Iditarod's official website, Paulsen placed 41st among 54 finishers. I cannot find any record of him having entered the 2005 Race as alleged (prior to my edits), while both the 1985 and 2006 records pages list Paulsen as being Scratched/Withdrawn with a time of 0d 0h 0m 0s (DNS). I checked the records pages from 1983 up to 1990, when he publicly resigned from sled dog racing, and from 2000-to-date, and these are the only three races which list him as a competitor. I've cited Paulsen's results page from the 1983 race but am unclear on how to correctly format it within Wiki's guidelines. My apologies in advance for leaving that to someone else :( Kwazimoto69 (talk) 20:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

message: This article mentions some pretty colorful facts without citations that are not mentioned in the NY Times biography linked to on the page. Where is the circus thing coming from? EdwinHJ | Talk 21:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO, with or without citations Paulsen's life is a bit too colorful for one man's life, but honestly the running away to join the circus comes from his publisher's website.  Many of Paulsen's books are supposedly autobiographical, especially Eastern Sun, Winter Moon, which I have read and found to be less plausible than some of his fiction but it is what the man has said has happened, and believe it or not, it now has citations. --Ishtar456 (talk) 01:43, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

message: There's a newly created article on the film adaptation of Nightjohn if anyone feels inclined to add a section on adaptations of Paulsen's work and link to it.--CharlieDelta (talk) 06:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

message: About half of the listed nonfiction titles suggest "sports instruction" to me so I added that to the  Subjects (which refers to nonfiction). If these books are not instructional the please revise perhaps to "outdoor sports" or so.
This work needs at least a mention in prose. If the market is children (not teens), or school programs, or collegiate study of physical education, then a mention in the lead may be appropriate.
--P64 (talk) 19:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: more appropriate in the lead as this genre of his work is more different from what we do cover --P64 (talk) 18:43, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Library of Congress Authorities (Paulsen's LC Name Authority File) cites a Gale database thus:
* Gale biog. res. center, database, 24 Sept. 2009 (Gary Paulsen, 1939- ; also known as Paul Garrisen; primarily writer of young-adult fiction and nonfiction; written 2 plays and works of adult fiction and nonfiction, along with picture books for children)
WorldCat and LC Catalog searches for 'Garrisen' both hit the same two works--for example:
* WorldCat search Garrisen. 
I added 'Garrisen, Paul (pseud.)' to the hidden template . --P64 (talk) 18:43, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I think this falls under the category of "libelous" material, unless it can be backed up with a source proving that this is a quote of Paulsen's or is from a reputable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leafbug003 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
