Talk:John Sladek

message: Many, many short stories missing from this page.  The external reference sited ([]) has them all but I suspect that there are too many for listing them to be practical? Someone else should make the call, I'm a coward.

thread_title:  Short Stories Missing 

message: I am reliably informed that John Sladek wrote Judgement of Jupiter (1980), a cosmobiological prediction of the devastation of the decade ahead, under the sobriquet of 'Richard A. Tilms.'
This sort of thing seriously undermines the efforts of skeptics to debunk pseudoscience, and Sladek should be censured for it.
: The above comment by 212.100.250.218 refers to something I've seen asserted in many online articles about Sladek (easily found by searching for "Judgment of Jupiter Sladek"), but I can't really tell if they count as sources - they all just repeat the claim as if it's something everyone knew, so it could easily be the kind of speculation that becomes an urban legend. I guess one could add a statement with citations about how some critics believed Tilms was Sladek. ←Hob 02:27, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah never mind, I missed that someone had already added a citation to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, which I'm fine with as a source (although I'm unclear on why the citation is exclusively to the print edition, with no link to the online version which contains the same info). ←Hob 19:12, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Judgement of Jupiter 

message: Why was the article moved from "John Sladek" to "John Thomas Sladek"? His byline almost everywhere was the former, and it is extremely improbable for anybody to look for him under the latter. If nobody objects, I intend to revert to the previous name (leaving "John Thomas Sladek" as a redirect). Goochelaar (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like no one got around to fixing this, so I've finally moved it back to "John Sladek" - I think that's clearly correct per WP:MIDDLENAME. The editor who did the earlier move seems to have done a lot of renames like that, which I'm guessing were just a misunderstanding of policy. ←Hob 02:22, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why the move? 

message: The citation of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction was referencing the 2nd print edition, which was published in 1993, but somewhat confusingly listed a later 1995 date - which as far as I can tell is the date of an updated CD-ROM version, sort of a second-and-a-half edition. In any case, both of those are now out of print and have been superseded by the online-only third edition, which includes all of the same material cited, so I'll update the references to that. ←Hob 19:25, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Hidden Hand]] - 1865 

message: Quote from article: "E.D.E.N. Southworth moved out to Wisconsin after graduating from Washington, D.C.. She studied in a school kept by her stepfather, Joshua L. Henshaw, and in 1840 married inventor Frederick H. Southworth, of Utica, New York. After 1843 she returned to Washington, D.C. without her husband. She began to write stories to support herself and her children when her husband deserted her in 1844."
As I read this, E.D.E.N. deserted her husband in 1843 by choosing to move back to Washington DC, leaving him behind. Frederick gave her a year to rethink her decision, and, when she did not return, he reciprocated and affirmed their split. So why does the article say "...when her husband deserted her in 1844"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.87.162.107 (talk) 04:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  two articles about Collins 

message: This wiki does not do Jack Collins justice. It shorts his achievements and relies too heavily on a statement by Lombardy (after the two had a falling out) that is not accurate. IM John Donaldson’s new book (Bobby Fischer and His World) and the article the Fischer Project in the July 2021 Chess Life give Jack a lot more credit in Fischer’s narrative that this wiki does. Also many of the citations to Collins book My Seven Chess Prodigies - where whoever wrote this wiki tries to suggest Jack didn't actually teach or mentor the seven are misquotes or leave out important contrary information. 2600:4040:2A02:B600:F55B:5FFF:E4A1:B8E1 (talk) 02:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  How can the References be corrected? 

message: The lead section of the article claims that Gardner was the only Republican in Lyndon B. Johnson's cabinet. Although a reputable source (namely, a New York Times obituary) is cited for this claim, it seems almost certainly false, as Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara was a registered Republican throughout his service in the Kennedy and LBJ administrations. This Los Angeles Times article notes as much, and unlike the Gardner obituary in The Times, it backs the claim with sources ("According to a 1961 entry in Contemporary Biography, McNamara was a registered Republican. He changed his party affiliation to Democrat in 1978, according to public records in the District of Columbia.") LunaticLarry (talk) 08:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Since I don't frequent WP music articles, I'm not sure what criteria are used for establishing statements in this area of WP.
