Talk:Wordos

message: I would say one of the most notable characteristics of the Wordos is the fact that new, non-established writers receive serious critiques from established and respected authors in the field of speculative fiction, and vice versa. This provides the new writers with highly professional polish for their material, and the established writers the ability to capture the direct input from untrained readers who will likely read their stories the way they might be read in a magazine.—Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodDamon (talk • contribs) 08:45, September 17, 2006
:...and, as the article states, it is, "one of the longest running speculative fiction critque groups and arguably the highest concentration of speculative fiction talent in the United States."—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bifurcation (talk • contribs) 16:32, October 1, 2006
::I would add that individual members of the Wordos have gone on to have significant impact on the world of speculative fiction. Jay Lake, Jerry Oltion, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and other award-winning members have made notable contributions to the literature after "graduating" through the Wordos.

message: Thanks to those who found and added links to some outside sources. It's better though if these are used as citations in the article, which is still mostly unsourced. See WP:CITE and WP:RS for more information. Let me know if you need help formatting the refs. Katr67 20:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: The awards section formatting is pretty beastly. Is there a better template somewhere that we can use to clean it up? Perhaps something more like a table layout, or maybe a multi-column layout? If I come up with a good idea, I'll post it here and see what people think.
header 1     	header 2     	header 3
row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2	row 1, cell 3
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2	row 2, cell 3
That's the standard table format, and it's OK, but there's gotta be a better format somewhere. --GoodDamon 23:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I ended up going with ordering them by member. I think it looks pretty clean now. You know, despite the (probably valid) notability questions, this page is beginning to look like a model Wikipedia page for writing circles. --GoodDamon 20:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ugly formatting for awards 

message: I've been thinking another way to expand this article would be to work on notable publication credits that have passed through the workshop. Non-notable small presses and stories that weren't routed through the workshop wouldn't be notable for the purposes of a publications section, but bigger ones would be, and would also be significant encyclopedic content. --GoodDamon 22:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Publication credits

message: There are many awards not listed in the table, which could go a long way towards better establishing notability. It could also include stories that are nominated for prestigious awards, even if they don't win. --GoodDamon 18:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
