Talk:Chris Claremont

message: Is it really necessary, or even accurately representative, to list both his works and then the TPB compilations of those works? It can be assumed that if Claremont wrote Dude Justice issues 1-16, then he also probably wrote the Dude Justice trade paperbacks vols 1, 2 and 3 which reprinted issues 1-16. It's a bit silly, a bit of a waste of space and definitely strikes as filler. 204.69.40.7 11:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To the best of my knowledge, there is no consensus on the inclusion of reprint collections within comic book bibliographies. Personally, I am neutral on the matter. However, when they are included, I think that they ought to indicate which issues are being reprinted. --GentlemanGhost 20:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and removed most of them. The entire section is pretty silly anyway. Very few other people, writers, actors or artists, have a listing quite so complete of their works. Most folks just have a few high points. There's also the fact that an amazing number of the items listed were simply incorrect. Last I checked, Spider-Man: The Complete Frank Miller was written by uh, hmm... what's his name again? Oh yes, Alan Moore. Claremont's never had a run on The Pulse or Ultimate X-Men. It's just bizarre that so much crap snuck onto the list and lasted as long as it did. Makes a guy wonder how long it'd last if someone snuck Calvin & Hobbes, Transformers: the Movie, the screenplays for WWF Raw from 1997 to 1999 and Of Mice and Men in there. 24.62.27.66 02:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It /is/ excessive - even Stan Lee's bibliography is a third the size of the one presented here. Ekchuah 15:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The list of works could be moved to a separate page. Iron Ghost 01:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or like we do with most actors and authors, we could pare his bibliography down to highlights and important works. 204.69.40.7 11:40, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: He apparently had a cameo role on the US series "Heroes", as a shop owner called "Claremont", in episode 1x22 "Landslide". —Preceding unsigned comment added by IceHunter (talk • contribs) 01:26, 16 May 2007
:First, please sign you posts. Second, the character's name on Heroes was Claremont, but the guy had nothing to do with Claremont the writer except the same name, from what I can tell. The only possible link was that Hiro came to the shop owner to repair his sword and Hiro is a big X-Men fan, so that might have been the connection there. But the character on the show and Chris Claremont are not the same person, i.e., it wasn't a cameo. --RossF18 (talk) 05:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I trimmed down the writer profile section, since much of it was nothing more than unsourced speculation not suited for a biographical article. I also noted in my edit summary that the text might be copied  from another website . I checked again, and it appears that the Wikipedia text was copied to the web page, which as far as Wikipedia is concerned, is not a copyright violation . I will also try to find more sources/references to the article. Talsurrak (talk) 11:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Obviously, that columnist erred. However, we cannot change a direct quote from a source, so I think it's best to trim that passage, and leave only the relevant, cogent portion of it, as I just did. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This article http://cma.staging-thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/film/article2432216.ece, states that Chris Claremont did have access to comic books in his childhood, and read a lot of Dan Dare.
I was going to add this info to the article, but it doesn't really fit with what's already written, contradicting something which is already sourced, so I'm not sure what to do with it.Jesus.arnold (talk) 00:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the Times story features a direct quote of him saying that he read Dan Dare in his own words, and the New York Magazine story does not, I'm going to assume that the former is correct. I've edited the passage accordingly, and added some other materials from that source. Thanks for pointing it out. And in the future, feel free to BE BOLD in editing the article yourself. To get an idea of how you might do it, try comparing the version before and after I edited it, if it helps. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 03:48, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't see any clear consensus or interest. So in the interest of _getting_ more interest, I'll make this RFC. We are trying to determine if the picture above will add anything to this article. It would not replace the infobox pic but may be added in lieu of or in addition to the other inline pictures. The picture is not the best picture but seems to be the only picture of the writer (taken at a signing) during his rise to fame over 20 years ago. Thanks for any thoughts..!

message: The article currently includes "Claremont's career began in 1969, as a college undergraduate, when he was hired as a gofer/editorial assistant at Marvel Comics, during which time he received a plot assist credit for X-Men #59, written by Roy Thomas (cover dated August 1969).[3][note 1] Thomas later assigned Claremont his first professional scripting assignment, on Daredevil and the Black Widow #102 (Aug. 1973).[17]"
The idea that Claremont suggested that the Sentinels fly into the sun at the end of that story, and that that was his first contribution to X-Men, has become pretty commonplace--but he definitely did not get a plot assist credit anywhere in that comic book. He did get a "with a welcome plotting assist from Chris Claremont" credit in Incredible Hulk #148 (cover-dated February, 1972), and then a "from an idea suggested by Chris Claremont" credit in Avengers #102 (cover-dated August, 1972), in which the Sentinels return. As https://50yearoldcomics.wordpress.com/2019/05/26/x-men-58-july-1969/ points out, it makes some sense that Claremont misremembered which Sentinel-related story he got credited for. (And both Neal Adams and Roy Thomas have claimed credit for the "Sentinels-fly-into-the-sun" idea, too, so best to skip that whole question, I suspect.)
I've consequently changed the text to "Claremont's career began in 1969, as a college undergraduate, when he was hired as a gofer/editorial assistant at Marvel Comics. His first professional scripting assignment was Daredevil and the Black Widow #102 (Aug. 1973)."
