Talk:James White (author)

message: In reply to the short story list I added being removed... WTF?  Being complete is the whole point of wikipedia. Now maby it needs it's own page (List of Short Stories by James White) or womthing like that.  But the list should be, at the very least, linked to from this page.  Why was it simply removed?

replies: text: Generally, with an author as prolific as White, we would not give a complete bibliography.  Instead, we would give a list of the most important works (novels, generally, or particularly important stories), and then construct a bibliography page as you suggest.  However, even then listing every single story seems excessive to me, falling under the category of  What Wikipedia is Not.  It is the literary equivalent of citing a list of da Vinci's paintings and including every sketch he ever made.  Either way, a bibliography page would probably be appropriate.Michaelbusch 23:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Uhh... i feel really stupid asking this, but why does it say 'Sir Arthur C Clarke' in the infobox heading? It looks like its been there for ages and isn't vandalism. Is this one of Clarke's pen names or what? If so, might want to clarify it in the lead.

replies: text: Please explain why you deleted this image. There was no advance of deletion on the file page, its Talk page, the relevant article's Talk page, or my Talk page - I'd have picked up any of these on my watchlist. If the image upload form does not provide the relevant facilities or information, then the process should improve. I did provide a FUR, and far as can see there was nothing wrong worth that. Of course I can't check that, now you've remove the evidence. The image procedure becomes like the worst type of tax system by the day. --Philcha (talk) 07:37, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
