message: Although Dark House now owns the rights, the work Williamson did on the Star Wars adaptations was done for Marvel.  Saying "Dark Horse's Star Wars adaptations" is misleading, since Dark Horse didn't exist when Williamson adapted Empire and Jedi. DailyRich (talk) 22:32, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: # Do a detailed grammar check of your article, as I happen to spot a ton of stray commas. I tend to do this too, but you need to squash them.
OK
# Complete the infobox, especially notable works & awards. Make the image caption a little more informative (perhaps include the year it was done, for instance).
# Throughout the Biography sections there are quite a few poorly connected threads/thoughts. Scan the phrasing to make sure everything reads correctly.i.e., "He took an interest in comic strips via the Mexican magazine Paquin at the age of nine (the magazine featured American strips and 'the Underwater Empire by Argentinian cartoonist Carlos Clemen)." reads better as "At the age of nine, Williamson displays an initial interest in comic strips by reading the Mexican magazine Paquin, which reprints American work alongside original Mexican stories." That's still not great, but you get the idea (I hope).
OK
# In each decade you seem to have a list ("Some notable work from that period include" sort). Try to assimilate this information into the article more fluidly.
OK
# Be a tad more selective with the External links, most of them should be Footnotes and that's all. Also use more descriptive titles and impose a bit of organization to their order.
OK
#Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
OK
#Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
OK
#The script has spotted the following contractions: wasn't, haven't, didn't, can't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
OK
#As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
OK
#Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

message: I was going to do the GA Review on this article, but it looks like it needs a bit of work still. Perhaps cut down the images? Cheers JRA_WestyQld2 Talk 03:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Review

message: Okay, now, Al Williamson is a brilliant artist, and I cringe at the thought of giving him grief.  But we really need to note his birth name (“Alfonso”) in this article, even if he doesn't care for it.  So I'm going to note it here and then flee from the problem. —SlamDiego←T 01:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, but where did you find that information? If we give a footnote citation, then I think it stays since it's encyclopedic --72.89.116.90 (talk) 22:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
