replies: text:  I had thought it was "lee-ber" until I picked up a copy of "Ill-Met In Lankmar" where the correct pronunciation is mentioned in the foreword. (This is somewhat embarrassing - German is my mother tongue though I've spoken primarily English for years now, and the book claims that the long-I pronunciation is the "original German" fashion of saying it.)

replies: text:  Why isn't this information in the header as it is for so many name entries on Wikipedia?  Further confirmation that it's LYE-ber and not LEE-ber may be found in a video interview with the man himself at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUHrdLUqfcg&t=95.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: I have spotted a number of inaccuracies in the bibliographic listing of works. I've already corrected two of these, but I will make some more adjustments when I spot things. I also think that Conjure Wife needs a section of its own. It is too important a work to be swept up with everything else the way it is now. Does anyone object? As it stands the synopsis of the book is wrong (it is taken from one of the cover blurbs) and there is no noting of the changes that the novel has gone through over time. Even the film information is not fully accurate for this novel. Eluard (talk) 03:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Previously we said early in section Life that Unknown 1939 ("Two Sought Adventure", not named) was "his first published story", ref Anderson. I changed it to say that he introduced F&GM there (and to identify title, month, and editor), and I added coverage of six 1934/1935 stories just above, ref ISFDB (Notes).
In section Writing career we call Two Sought Adventure "Leiber's first professional sale", without ref. That needs a source. If/when we learn more, the prose needs revision at least in the first instance.
ISFDB identifies about 20 Untitled items of short fiction by their opening words, sometimes also with a 1937 to 1941 date.(see the end of section Shortfiction) Probably it will be valuable to examine the 2010 collection Strange Wonders and expand coverage of the Leiber's early period in this biography.

message: I believe the image used in this article's infobox should be removed. It is not a picture of Leiber. It is the cover of a magazine, and it probably does not meet copyright requirements for this article. ImprovingWiki (talk) 01:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
