message: This section seems intersting but completely vague and un-encyclopaedic. I'm in no position to improve it, but I'd like to see it devloped with citations, quotes, etc, if a more capable person could see their way to having a go?
e.g. "Much has been written about Ellis' work by other writers" - what has been writen? 
"The tone and subject matter of his work has changed since his early stories." - How has it changed? 
"Ellis' work has also been the focus of a number of academic articles and dissertations." - Which ones, where?  tmimh 19:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I clicked on the link to the interview on wotmania.com and it lead to a strange discussion that appears to have nothing to do with Warren Ellis.  Wotmania.com is a site devoted to the Wheel of Time fantasy book series which, as far as I know, Warren Ellis has nothing to do with.  So I doubt they would be interviewing him anyway.  Does anyone know why this is here?
-- Nobody has responded to this question so I went ahead and deleted the interview link.  -- jdvelasc 21:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Adding a bit of very minor trivia... Warren was a friend of Richard Easter, who went on to write for Steve Wright, Chris Tarrant, etc.  Funny, how people fall into the same kind of careers QuiteUnusual 21:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I think this link was an interesting inclusion and ought not to be removed, but perhaps it can be worked into the article to make it worth including? Scans and details of pre-professional work
I didn't add it myself because although I didn't see anything making it something to be avoided, it could maybe fit into copyright infringement or something else I didn't think of. Jseipel 23:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I note that Nick Cave's new band has a bass player called Warren Ellis - is this the same person? BTW I remember Warren from when he used to run the comic shop at the top of the Hammerson Development shopping centre in Southend on Sea many years ago! quercus robur 12:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I can understand why the birthday info's been removed, but Ellis seems quite happy to share his birthday with the internet each year, so we wouldn't be including anything that's not already widely known. --Mrph 07:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have undone the b-day edit.  The cited b-day privacy article is not applicable to celebrities, which is stated in the article itself.  Plus, it's kind of funny, because the summary right below the deleted b-day has his b-day there as well, yet that was not removed.  So it was still in the article.  Whoever the remover was, was not too thorough.–m.f (t • c) 15:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: So, I came here looking to find out whether Ellis is married or divorced, etc. I found nothing about his personal life. Can we work on that? I mean, I know his Twitter only ever lists when he's working on a project or drinking, but there simply has to be more to his life than that.

message: The ephemeral nature of the internet is bound to land dead links in the reference lists of articles, but sometimes they can be "rescued" via the wonderful Internet Archive. I was able to find the source for the second reference (now dead) in the Warren Ellis article at archive.org however due to the way the references list works I was unable work out how to add this info. Maybe I'm missing something obvious...

message: Ellis' politics are hard left. In Planetary #7, he severely libels Mrs Thatcher, making up nasty stuff. In Planetary #8, he tells us the evil Americans were the guilty party in the Cold War and not the innocent Russians.

message: Perhaps the most unfortunate thing to happen in the last ten years is the wholehearted embrace of victim culture. Nothing in these allegations rises to the level of criminality and I have to wonder how many people out there in the world don't have people they've been intimate with who are unhappy and vindictive. Further, there appears to be a growing consensus that just because of gender you are not responsible for your behavior. Last time I checked, the idea of gender equality meant that people were responsible for their actions and the ramifications of decisions good or bad is something that they themselves bear responsibility for. The incredible irony here is that Ellis has been a champion throughout his career for inclusiveness and the very people who are part of groups he's tried to bring into the mainstream are now out there with pitchforks and torches. I went out with someone, we had a shitty breakup, I was in another relationship and now because there is an internet she and all the other exes who latched onto me trying to trade their own good looks to piggyback on my fame lacked the talent to make it payoff - wow! Let me run crying to other idiots who buy into the whole victim ideology. This is gossip, salacious and being used to destroy someone's career so some never as can get their renewed moment of fame. That Wikipedia plays into this stupidity lessens it as an authoritative source on anything.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.233.44 (talk) 21:13, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Please review WP:PUBLICFIGURE:  Regardless of the truth of the allegations, it was reported on by multiple reliable sources (such as The Guardian, The Daily Beast & The Hollywood Reporter) & Ellis was removed from projects (DC Comics, Castlevania) as a result. The article section in question says people accused him, it has direct quotes in response to the allegations from Ellis, and then it highlights the professional fall out. It does not go into salacious details. Sariel Xilo (talk) 23:11, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

text: To restate the previous response: Please review WP:PUBLICFIGURE:  Multiple media sources do not report on allegations that are entirely unsubstantiated (they have legal departments that advise them against doing so), and events that happen as a consequence of allegations are a matter of fact. It is only right that the article covers this part of Ellis's career, in a neutral, facts-only manner. Before objecting further, perhaps consider the case of Roscoe Arbuckle, to take a historically famous example H. Carver (talk) 02:20, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

message: The list of "notable works" in the infobox is a bit overmuch. This item isn't intended to be exhaustive... it's supposed to include a few examples, so the reader can recognize them and go "Oh, he's THAT writer!" Transmet and Authority are obviously in: the former is arguably his magnum opus, and the latter had a big impact on the superhero genre. I'm not sure any of his work-for-hire runs qualify, except the Iron Man story that was used for the 3rd movie. Likewise Red, for being the basis of two movies. Some of the others were famous for 15 minutes or meant to be the next big thing, but their notability hasn't aged as well. Nominations? Thoughts? -Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:46, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
