Talk:Clive Barker

message: Move Razorline?
The comics section has a lot of interesting, pertinent background not readily found elsewhere. But should it be condensed and most of this information placed in a separate Razorline entry?  There is precedent for this with other Marvel Comics imprints such as Epic, MAX and 2099.  Thoughts?
* Razorline background material and details moved to entry for Marvel imprint Razorline, consistent with existing entries for fellow Marvel imprints Epic Comics, Marvel 2099, and MAX.  — Tenebrae 21:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

message: re: When the Books of Blood were first published in the United States in paperback, Stephen King was quoted on the book covers: "I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker."[citation needed]
I have a copy of the Books of Blood (and The Inhuman Condition) where Stephen King's quote appears on the cover. So that "citation needed" can be removed, is it possible for me to provide a scan or picture? 24.207.152.255 (talk) 03:10, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: He brags of going to the same schools as John Lennon?  How strange.  There is a 12 year age difference, so he obviously went to these schools well after Lennon had left.  Interesting to note that, like Lennon, he has affected an American accent.  Guv2006 13:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this a quartet or a quintet? It is called both under the Novels section.
-it was intended as a quartet, but recently he organized his notes and discovered, there's more he needs to cover than he originally thought, so he's changing it to a quintet.  it says about it soemwehere on revelations. Snakesamongus 02:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Abarat?

message: I can't find the source, so I realize that this cannot go in, but I feel like I should say it anyway. Clive Barker once said that he is actually bisexual, but calls himself a homosexual writer because far more people are understanding of homosexuals than bisexuals.
:Hardly the philosophy of a man on the side of the monsters, is it? However, in reference to the Personal Life section, don't you think it's a bit thin? Why doesn't it mention David Armstrong and their adopted children?

thread_title: Clive Barker's Real Sexuality

message: This article is chaotic. The introduction contains random stuff, the Movies section should be much further down. There should be a separate biographical section earlier.

thread_title:  Third Book of the Art  

message: This forthcoming novel is listed in the article as having a publication date of 2008. However, in a recent interview (April 2008), he says it won't be out for 3 or 4 years. Perhaps create a Future Works section, and move this item there?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.35.193 (talk) 12:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Scarlet Gospels 

message: What relevance do these biased quotes have? No matter who said them, they are OPINIONS, one and all. They're also laughably one-sided, every one of them slobbering with praise for Clive Barker's work. If mere opinions are to be included in Wikipedia entries now, then let's at least be fair and unbiased about it: I'll go find an equal number of negative reviews to balance it out. Otherwise, this whole section should be removed. FireHorse (talk) 19:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Quotes About...?"

message: The paragraph that begins "I want to be remembered as an imaginer ..." appears under the "Personal Life" section.  Perhaps this belongs in some other section?  To my thinking, it's not really about his personal life -- certainly, the paragraph doesn't flow naturally from the preceding paragraph (about his sex life).
I also find it somewhat intrustive for the sex paragraph to appear so early in the article.  I'm not against the sex paragraph, but it seems to make the article emphasize sex at the expense of art. Personally, I'd rather that the "Writing Career", "Film" and other art-related sections comes first, then the personal life.  
I'm not very familiar with the man or his work, so I'll leave revisions to someone else.

message: This author is categorized in a number of erotica categories, but there's no mention of erotica in the article's body. Per WP:BLPCAT, categories must be supported by the article text and reliable sources. Without such support, the categories could be considered contentious and should be removed.

LC delivers the record for Clive Baker with note "Invalid LCCN" (and valid LCCN in line one).
The latter WorldCat page is the one we have previously provided in External links (it remains but I added the first pair). This page delivers more data for our Clive Barker, perhaps mixed with other stuff. Can anyone discern whether all of the WorldCat data is for our Clive Barker, or there is some other stuff (maybe, maybe not for Clive Baker, 1941)?

replies: text: The previous link was broken and had a redirect to the wrong person, so for now I just put in a link to search results on WorldCat to all items related to the correct person. If the site ever gets things sorted, feel free to put in a better link. LovelyLillith (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: "Critical studies of Clive Barker's work"?

message: In the U.S. , "In The Flesh" & "The Inhuman Condition" were released as paperbacks , but , they are merely variations of the "Books of Blood" ( Even their hyperlinks go to the appropriate "Books of Blood". ). So , I guess the question is , do "In The Flesh" & "The Inhuman Condition" need their own mention? Or perhaps something like: "In The Flesh" ( U.S. version of "Books of Blood Vol.IV" ) ? Admittedly , the cover art to the U.S. releases is unique , but , the hyperlink(s) don't go to separate entries , where you could display them. 75.104.163.77 (talk) 20:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

message: The filmography mentions a movie TBA called Born. The first mention of this was added without citation or explanation in 2008: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clive_Barker&oldid=232392049. It's just been sitting there in the TBA pile ever since. I'm removing it now, but feel free to re-add it if sources can be provided demonstrating that this movie really is still in development (if it ever was.) Cryptarch (talk) 10:30, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
