Talk:Dan Abnett

message: maybe we should consolidate it into one section and use the inline citations? Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why. They have proved useful in what he did when and with who. Obviously we'll want to expand the inline citations but there is no reason to get rid of the references (and in fact the guidelines say you should include them). (Emperor (talk) 15:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

text: The "reference" section is for general references that cover a broad area, largely for things like WP:V. The footnotes are to reference any specific points or statements. There is no problem with having both (see WP:MOS) and you'll find them on a lot of the reasonably well referenced comics-related articles. I will go through them and trim them down as we'll only really need the more general ones here. (Emperor (talk) 16:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference sections 

message: I take exception to this wording, as it implies that the fiction Mr. D. Abnett has produced prior to his Angry Robot is not original, thus somehow less noteworthy, of less literary worth and not the product of his own mind. His work for the Black Library and others have on occasion been nothing short of revolutionary and ground-breaking in its scope and vision, staying true to the concept of a shared unreal world while immensely furthering the boundaries and immersion of those worlds. Mainstream literary criticism may hold the worlds of comics, science fiction, gaming as somehow the dirty low-brow underside of fiction writing, but for a writer with multiple titles on the NY Times Bestseller list, can we please get over this? Thank you. Pär Larsson (talk) 01:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
