Talk:Jim Butcher

message: Why was the photograph of Butcher deleted and replaced with a pencil drawing? Is Wikipedia now showcasing people's artwork? Is this going to be yet another medium for backdoor advertising?
:I agree, we definitely need a real picture, I don't think it would be even possible to recognize the man, if this picture was somebody's only reference. especially since he has buzzed off all of his hair. 24.142.11.158 (talk) 03:04, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photograph 

message: Not sure why, but the old Jim Butcher article was deleted. I believe it's because the biography was from his official website, and it no longer fit with Wiki's Fair Use rules. So I've written my own biography and a quick bibliography to bring the article back. If anyone has a publicity photo of Jim they would like to add, that would really help the article. I'm going to try to add ISBN numbers later. Thanks to the Wiki admins for cleaning up the stub. Debuskjt 15:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The notes about the three SFBC omnibuses needs to be updated. The third one has been released as "Wizard at Large" but the article is written as if it hasn't been released yet. Robinsage 18:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Bibliography for the Dresen Series is missing a number of links (or links to pages that should exist but haven't yet created it) however when I tried to edit and add those links all it came up with was , how do I go about editing the files for that variable?

replies: text: I recommends adding the complete list of titles and short stories for all the series here and put the details on the other wiki pages. It makes it easier for someone like me to compare the list to what's available at the local library. The libraries databases are often incomplete making it difficult to figure out the order to read books. Printing the bibliography is a handy way to create a checklist of which books have been read. By the way Brief Cases is on his website and should be added to the table. Cvreads (talk) 23:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
