message: Possibly add citations for date of birth and in the Education section or remove "citation needed." 
The sentence "However, Thompson sought legal action..." seems out of context (perhaps move to "Legal actions" section).
Information concerning British Steve Jackson could be relevant, but not under section entitled "Legal actions" (should be moved somewhere else possibly intro section) — Slu30 (talk) 20:31, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I've replaced the first link the bot found with "http://www.originsawards.net/hall-of-fame/". It turns out the offthehook link works for me (as do the audios there), so I fixed that ... but when I skimmed the audio I found it has reporting about the District Court trial but no interview with SJ, so I then deleted it from the ELs list. Feel free to revert that if I missed something. Cheers, CWC 04:56, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

message: SJG has just published Hexagram #1, an 80s-style zine about The Fantasy Trip. Mr Jackson's introduction includes this anecdote:
:Many, many years ago, I was a bored law school student. In a vain attempt to not do my homework, I was reading the school paper. Even the classified ads, which I did not normally look at – but I was very bored. And one of those ads was a help-wanted ad for a “zine editor.” Now, “zine” was not a common word at the time – back then, it meant, 99 times out of 100, a science fiction zine. So I replied to the ad!
:The magazine turned out to be The Space Gamer. I didn’t get the job; I was overqualified. (It went to Ben Ostrander, who did fine work.) Instead, I got hired by Metagaming as a game developer.
:So on that one thin hook of the word “zine” hangs my career!
Should we use this in the Education section of the article?
