Talk:Stephen Glass

message: "Maarten Verkiel" a Dutch film director? I think not.  A short wave radio show called "let's Talk About Things"?????  A rudimentary fact check on Google would suggest that this last paragraph may well have been written by Mr Glass himself and I will accordingly remove"--81.19.57.130 11:44, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I remember learning in a class of a reporter, I think female, who did something similar- I think making up a story of an abused child... I seem to remember she claimed alter it wasn't "made up," but was rather an aggregate of several stories... could anyone point me to her? Cantras 08:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Born in 1974, and under the category "1972 Births"?
67.109.103.194 He was born in '72. I know because he was a year ahead of me at Penn. I have fixed the page.
Changed birthdate category again..
:According to most sources, they describe Glass as being 25 years old when he was fired from TNR in 1998.  Obviously, if his birthday had not yet occurred in that year when was to turn 26 it would make his birthday sometime past May in 1972.  1997-25=1972. Otherwise, if his birth month was before May he would've been born in 1973.
:On Slate.com, an article written a week after Glass was fired it contains a qoute 'Colleagues describe Glass as an extraordinarily hard-working and personable 25-year-old who gladly pulled all-nighters to improve his pieces whenever his editors asked him to.'
:I think this lends to the idea that the birthdate is 1972.
:Both of these articles descrive Glass as 25 at the time of the incident.

thread_title: birthdate ambiguity

message: I saw that someone edited the X-Man remark in the article to X-Men.  After looking around online it seems like some of the sites that excerpt the article call out X-Man #1 and some call out X-Men #1.  Since the 'Washington Scene' link under Furthur Reading appears to me a total reprint of the article rather than an clipped version like most other sites have I have to believe that it is correct as X-Man like it shows on that link.  Does anyone else know for sure which was actually said in the TNR article?  I'm going to change it back to X-Man for now based on the 'Washington Scene' link.--Skeev 13:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ian Restil, a 15-year-old computer hacker who looks like an even more adolescent version of Bill Gates, is throwing a tantrum. "I want more money. I want a Miata. I want a trip to Disney World. I want X-Man comic book number one. I want a lifetime subscription to Playboy, and throw in Penthouse. Show me the money! Show me the money!" Over and over again, the boy, who is wearing a frayed Cal Ripken Jr. t-shirt, is shouting his demands. Across the table, executives from a California software firm called Jukt Micronics are listening--and trying ever so delicately to oblige. "Excuse me, sir," one of the suits says, tentatively, to the pimply teenager. "Excuse me. Pardon me for interrupting you, sir. We can arrange more money for you. Then, you can buy the comic book, and then, when you're of more, say, appropriate age, you can buy the car and pornographic magazines on your own."
And yes, the dare article is stunning not only for how over-the-top it is, but it looks like a drug education site actually reprints it without irony. Cool Hand Luke 04:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't tell why, but someone stripped all the links out of the in-article references and put them in a "Further Reading" section at the bottom.  This made that section excessively long.  I have put the links used as references back where they should be, in the references themselves.  Vidor (talk) 09:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Now that the issue of his entry to the bar in NY and California is resolved, it deserves an entry in the introduction (as it would have if it had gone the other way and he'd become an associate in the law firm, instead of a paralegal). I've summarized it and made the legal career a short second paragraph in the intro. Nathan  T   01:08, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
