message: The order for the Skolian Empire books is from the SciFan page, where they attempt to place books in reading order. Maybe someone who actually owns the books can check and if necessary update. Phil 13:33, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)
:I've rearranged the order from "chronological by plot" to "published" order. Some of the books, like The Last Hawk and Radiant Seas, actually overlap other books, so it's not completely clear as to how the order should be set "chronologically by plot." --Lowellian 05:46, Mar 1, 2004 (UTC)
That's a shame (and redundant because the publication dates are right there): the idea is to provide a reading order for someone (myself included) who has no clue where to start. Maybe you could have another go, or I can just re-sort them. --Phil 08:14, Mar 1, 2004 (UTC)
Added reading order - which is also on the back of every book

message: The article Saga of the Skolian Empire for 90% repeats the main article's sections on the Saga of the Skolian Empire and the booklist. Therefore I propose to merge it into here. Please let me hear your opinions. Debresser (talk) 19:49, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: In the article Jaibriol III the planet is called Prism (Both parents of Jaibriol III are believed to be dead, though they are secretly living with their other children on the planet Prism.), and likewise in the article Sauscony Lahaylia Valdoria Skolia (At the end of the war, she and Jaibriol faked their deaths again to go back into exile and start a stable colony on Prism together with their children, Soz’s brother Althor and a group of Jagernaut volunteers.), but in the article Radiance War it is called Prizma (Sauscony Valdoria survived, actually faking the ship's explosion, and went into hiding to start a new life on the planet Prizma together with her brother, husband and children and a group of Jagernaut volunteers.), while in The Radiant Seas it is Prizm (They relocate, with help, to an Allied-discovered, unknown planet which they call Prizm.). Which is correct? Debresser (talk) 20:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

text:  I asked this question on another talkpage. The answer was there. But I don't remember now where that was. It is likely it was on one of the three redlinks that you can see in the text of the question. Debresser (talk) 18:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Honestly I was just curious, I know that she is one of the few well know authors who will answer her readers and participates on her discussion list once in a while. RP459 (talk) 19:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I noticed in the edit summary of one of the edits today  that it is am A.M. and not a M.A. and that "we have been here before"...  I do not see anything on the talk page so I was wondering if you could explain as it likely happened through edits rather than on the talk page.  Thanks RP459 (talk) 16:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: An allusion to the subject is here in #Degree. Debresser (talk) 18:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

text: See this Harvard link where it says: Some Harvard degree abbreviations appear to be backwards because they follow the tradition of Latin degree names. ... Likewise A.M., equivalent to the Master of Arts (M.A.), is Latin for “artium magister”; Debresser (talk) 18:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I was wondering why the external link to the science fiction encyclopedia for Asaro was reverted. It seems a reasonable link. If no one objects, I'd like to add it back in.

replies: text:  Now that's an interesting interpretation of this discussion. :) Debresser (talk) 23:10, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I may have misinterpreted the comment above. I assumed it meant the abuse was in removing the links. But if it's the reverse, the the spam campaign was in adding them, we can delete it again. It's not an important link.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacDT (talk • contribs) 12:20, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

text:  Sorry about my signature confusion in the above comment; I forget to login.  Will try to keep consistent here. About sfcrowsnest: they are a reputable site, well respected in the sf field. It looks like they are developing an SF encyclopedia.  As far as I can tell, the links they added to the articles for various author's pages here are meant to coordinate their Wiki with this one. It looks like they weren't meant to be abusive. 74.107.127.25 (talk) 01:02, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

message: She’s done a lot, but the article doesn’t say when: until the novels in 1996. 
I’m sure the “she is”-es (maths coach, SIGMA writer, president, +++) cover most of it; but wouldn’t the article be nicer with some dates? MBG02 (talk) 13:20, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
