Talk:Gail Simone

message: Does the whole "Superman helping Africans" 'controversy' really need to be dealt with so largely? It wasnt that big a deal. Only a couple of fans didnt like it, and they didnt even criticize it properly (Superman protecting the Africans from "Whitey" was mentioned by the critic, even though there were no other white characters in the scene). If it needs to be mentioned, fine, but dont make it a bigger deal than it was. --DrBat 14:06, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
:It's only one paragraph, and it was reported elsewhere (as per the external link). It's included as I feel it'd be of interest to the potential reader. And why the neutrality dispute? I don't know Simone personally; I'm just relating the facts of the matter. That said, the references to Austen and Byrne will be modified as per NPOV. Fastbak77 23:43, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
::To me, it makes it look like its trying to paint Gail Simone as a racist. Second, there was hardly any controversy over it. Gail Simone's run has been critically acclaimed; only one or two people complained about that one scene, and they couldnt even get their facts straight in their argument. --DrBat 17:44, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
:::I think it paints Simone as anything *but* a racist. And the fact that the 'critics' jumped the gun somewhat was actually the point of the matter. Fastbak77 04:50, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
:I hadn't really seen this anyway except here. It's a minor detail. And I'd know, because I am a venerated author of Gilligan's Island fan fiction. --Chris Griswold 10:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: Hi. I am somewhat surprised that Women in Refrigerators only gets a one sentence mention at the very end of the article. It is a big part of her fame, is it not? Also, there are no dates in article. How long has she been a comic creator, etc? Just stuff I was wondering about. Savatar 03:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I was wondering the same too. From the way it sounds is that she became a comic writer after she made that web site in 1999. Is there any way to confirm that as the thing that caused her to make the leap from relatively unknown writer and comic fan to actual comic writer like other notable figures Kevin Smith (he pretty much launched his director and comic writing career from Clerks) and Sam Hamm (invited to write Batman comics after DC liked his script for the Batman movie).

thread_title:  Women in Refrigerators 

message: I have eliminated the trivia section, incorporating the important into the article and eliminating the unnecessary. I would, however, like to find a home for this information: "Until recently, Simone owned a hairdressing salon."' I think that's important; very many comics professionals work day jobs. But it needs more information, and it needs to be cited. --Chris Griswold 11:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia section is gone 

message: I'm putting a bibliography together, but I can't seem to find information on the following projects that were mentioned in interviews:
* Justice League of America (Did this become JLA:Classified?)
* Night Nurse
* Chun Li from Udon Studios
Any help? Thanks.

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: Afaik, Gail is born on July 29 , can someone help out on the year and location? It is a bit embarrassing that an author this high-profile lacks this info. Onomatopoeia 14:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What's this pseudonym business? --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 15:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  pseudonym 

message: Just putting this here in case someone is tempted to reinstate it: while the New York Times did claim that Gail is the first ongoing female Wonder Woman writer, that claim is disputed by those knowledgable on the history of Wonder Woman... including Gail herself: http://comicsworthreading.com/2007/11/27/gail-simone-in-ny-times/ entry 13. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  first female Wonder Woman writer claim 

message: What is the source of Gail being born in 1974?  That seems much too young, given the timeframe of her career, the fact that she has a teenage son, and that she has spoken extensively about growing up reading comics during the 1970s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.157.136 (talk) 18:30, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
