His bio for LosCon 30 in 2003:
"I was born in Ca in 1942 and remember VE day and VJ day. Grew up in Ca, joined the US NAVY in 1960 served a minority enlistment, got out in '63 and traveled.
I raced motorcycles, worked as a courier, appeared in Movies and on TV, supported myself by playing 12 string Guitar working as a mechanic and once time as a barker for a Shooting Gallery.
I've read Science Fiction since 1953 starting with Rocket Ship Galileo and Andre Norton's STARMAN'S SON. Also anything else I could get my hands on including H. Beam Piper. I was Filking before I knew that Fandom existed and got into Fandom in the 1970s.
Published a story with Leslie Fish in Co-DOMINUM IV: REVOLT ON THE WARWORLD called JANESFORT WAR.
However I've been mined for story ideas, plots, tech devices etc by a number of authors and even credited by a few, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle being kindest about mentioning me.
I am now slowly deteriorating in rural Arizona with a wife and owned by a 16 year old cat, Princess Tigerlilly."

Talk:Ulu Kelang

message: @Richardbuckley.tt do you have any sources regarding your recent additions to this article? Especially regarding the proper name- if "Ulu Kelang" is correct, the page can be moved. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 18:47, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Many major highways, such as DUKE and SUKE, use the Ulu Kelang spelling in their abbreviation form as well as their highway signboards. Moreover, many roads, districts, and municipal councils also use the word “Kelang”, considering the word “Klang” has a slightly different pronunciation and meaning. Sometimes, however, the first word varies; it can be spelled “Hulu Kelang”. Despite this, “Ulu Kelang” is the common spelling. Richardbuckley.tt (talk) 02:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Template talk:LancashireSchools

message: This template needs work - lots of secondary schools omitted, and several state schools wrongly listed as independent. Btw, what's with the distinction between independent and public school? There are two commonly accepted grounds for calling a school a public school - either its inclusion in the 19th-century Clarendon Commission report (only a handful of the big boys - Eton, Harrow, Shrewsbury etc.), or its membership of the HMC. At the moment, schools have been sorted into either independent or public on neither of these grounds. Can someone help? Crac4543 09:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Poet (novel)

message: This article contains WAY too many spoilers about this book (in fact, it gives just about every plot twist away).  Fortunately, I've already read this book, but I wish Wikipedia had some way of marking spoilers with "spoiler" tags which either hide the spoilers unless the reader wishes to view them or at least otherwise warns the reader so they don't accidentally ruin their enjoyment of a book or a movie.  It seems contradictory to common sense to make a big fuss over whether someone has permissions to post photos which might contain, for example, a snapshot from a movie, but then completely disclose the entire plot to a book.  Which is more likely to cost the artist a customer?  If I see a still (or even a clip) from a movie, I'm still likely to go see the movie, but if I had read this article prior to reading this book, I would have never bought the book.  Something to think about, Wikipedia...

Talk:James Howard

message: This page named James Howard along with Frances Howard were originally disambiguation pages that were both hijacked in June 2007 by anonymous user 217.43.4.16 (talk) (a family member?). Per WP:Disambiguation#Page naming conventions I am going to restore them as disambiguation pages, also because:
#the names are very common, and likely to be searched in reference to a wide number of different individuals
#the pages were originally disambiguation pages, and were hijacked
I recreated the Frances Howard (actress) page, because she made 4 films, has an IMDB entry and Google search finds, and married Samuel Goldwyn, and was sister to Sidney Howard who wrote GWTW screenplay, so I think she passes the Notability test. But as for James Alan Howard, other than being father to Frances and Sidney, I can't make the case that he passes the test of WP:Notability (people), even with possible inclusion of the  tag to give it a fair shake. But the page would just soon get deleted, and that makes it even tougher to pass later, if something validly notable should then turn up. Wikipedia is not a family tree, much as I would sometimes like it to be, so maybe I will just preserve here the anonymous editor's comment that James Alan Howard (1869-1937) was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, to John Howard and Martha Lewis Howard. Beyond that, he probably can't pass for a wikilink, unless:
#a secondary source ref (book, news article) discusses him as a primary subject
#for his own notable merits (published, filmed, recorded, got elected, went to prison) 
#recognized beyond his local community (state-wide, national)
There will also be a need to fix the What links here wikilinks, if directed to the old/new page...Steven Russell 10:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hamilton railway station, New South Wales

message: shows the naming convention for railway stations in Australia and New Zealand. In the case of this station it should be Hamilton railway station, New South Wales but was incorrectly renamed earlier today. I have tried to revert but have been stopped from doing so. Hence I need some assistance to get it back to the correct name. The same applies to Hamilton railway station (Victoria) which should be Hamilton railway station, Victoria. And also Hamilton railway station (New Zealand) which is not on my watchlist.Fleet Lists (talk) 02:01, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

message: This articles is the craziest shit I have ever read. How do you like perls like "Stylistic origins: ABBA, disco, and techno" or "74% of songs modulate to a new key immediately following the final bridge" (why exactly 74%?) or "elements of funk, trance, eurodance, and American pop, make up the musical backbone of this genre" (huh? Even withiut tounching the subhect of funk and trance belonging to entirely different eras, funk was always the tiniest undergroung scene in Russia, I tell you as the Russian funkster). OH NOES!
I tried to improve it, but it still needs re-writing. I'm not an expert in music theory, so I didn't remove statements that seem to be a hoax to me. But unless a verifiable references are provided within a week (WNYZ cannot be verified; moreover, I doubt it counts as a relable source for the given topic), I'm removing that nonsense about modulations.

Talk:Ramsay Wood

message: Unclear notability of Ramsay Wood as author to justify a stand alone article. Promotional elements about the author in the article need to be addressed. The first two sections are really just summaries of what already is in Panchatantra - with Ramsay's thoughts added, giving it a POVFORK feel. The last three sections may be worthwhile additions best placed in Panchatantra as they talk more about the classical text and other modern interpretations (not Wood). The passages about Wood's work needs a clean up and review for neutrality. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry for the late response. I lost track of this. The proposal is indeed to salvage whatever is relevant from this article and merge into Panchatantra. I do not see an awful lot in the article about Wood that is actually about Wood or related to his work. So in essence, this would be a short paragraph in Panchatantra that mentions the work by Wood. Wood is then to redirect to Panchatantra. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 21:01, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose merge; revised mass-market publications and the referencing on the page suggest independent notability. Best to tidy up the Ramsay Wood page where it is.

Talk:Romani media

message: this article has inline external links, and few references. it was started by an editor, now banned, shortly after a similar article on the Roma virtual network was deleted. a more recent editor has added links to their website, as a source for a  Roma resource he created. that is a clear conflict of interest, which can be fixed by adding references other than ones own. I would encourage anyone adding info to this article to start with effective sourcing of the material already here. nobody doubts that these things exist, we just need some clearn indication of notability, even if just print material from the Roma community. note: i have not removed any material, preferring to give more knowledgeable people (i am not Roma nor am i associated with any of these resources) a chance to improve it. and i of course recognize the problem of establishing notability for organizations and people traditionally discriminated against and institutionally marginalized. I will NOT participate in the indirect censorship of the Roma people. Lets just get this in better shape.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin

message: Just about sufficiently better to merit replacement; but a marginal call. Sarah777 (talk) 22:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Image replacement

message: According to the article, The cathedral was begun in 1038 by King Sitric Silkenbeard, the Danish Viking King of Dublin, but the article on Sitric says he died in 1036. (He was followed by Echmarcach mac Ragnaill, whose first reign was from 1036-1038.) A quick check shows this article gives a date of establishment in the 1030s, with the earliest Account Roll dating from 1037-46. This link gives 1038 as the founding date. It could be that the order was given by the king before he died and the process continued after his death, but it's a little puzzle. Granted, it may be something that is open to several answers (depending on the definition of "founded") and records may not be exact. Autarch (talk) 19:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends

message: This article's layout needs work. Firstly, the "Characters" section may be a little too detailed. And there is a list of all the episodes, yet only part of them have plot summaries. Either move the plot summaries to its own article and create one for every episode, or delete every plot summary featuring only a list of episodes. I think the first would be a good idea, but requires some work and knowledge on the subject. What I recommend for the Characters section is to rename it to "Cast" and erase each summary of every individual character. We don't need it. Also, instead of having a plot summary for each individual character, how about creating an "Overview" section for the entire article? These are just my suggestions. Because I think that the entire article is based on the in-world story of it all? --Michaelzeng7 (talk) 16:12, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough

message: I feel that the "Overview and history" section, which is repeated in the other current Church of Ireland diocese articles, goes on too much about how the "majority of the population remained faithful to the Latin Rite of Roman Catholicism" and "were obliged to find alternative premises and to conduct their services in secret". Yes, the Church of Ireland took control of the cathedrals, churches, etc., and the population majority were penalised by the then Government for not conforming, but does it have to be written from a biased Roman Catholic POV? In fact, does it have to be mentioned at all? It comes across to me as Catholics having a go at Protestants for what happened hundreds of years ago. Obviously who wrote that hasn't heard of Christian forgiveness. The section needs to be rewritten from an impartial, neutral point of view. Until then the tag should remain.
