I cleaned up the article a bit and removed text taken verbatim from another website, to avoid copyright issues. - Illspirit 22:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC) reply

While an example of terrific writing, is there any specific rationale for including a long quotation from a specific work by the author? Jrule ( talk) 20:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Charlie LeDuff emphasizes the difference between journalists and reporters and insists he is a reporter, so why does this article label him a journalist? Why is more of the article devoted to alleged problems and so little to his Pulitzer Prize winning work? Who cares about the self-aggrandizing Mike Beidler?

seems awkward to have separate sections for writing, TV, radio, handyman time when there's overlap between them. Seems chronological order might have made more sense. whatevs Doug Grinbergs ( talk) 08:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

crazy idea: when Wikipedia approves or even incorporates AI: "rewrite these sections in approximate chronological order"😉😆 Doug Grinbergs ( talk) 09:32, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply
