Can someone who knows include a note on how Leiber is pronounced?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.208.181 ( talk) 06:38, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
The page has expanded so much that it has become unwieldy. Anyone besides me up for reorganizing it? -- Career, early influences, dry spells -- Leiber had the November 1959 issue of Fantastic devoted to only his new stories, and a Special Author issue of F&SF appeared in 1969, with the usual new work, appreciation, bibliography, etc. Should these be added? Signinstranger 22:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Unwieldy? Perhaps a bit, but I found it reasonably complete, well written and unbiased (visited it for the first time today). I don't think the 'cleanup' tag on the page is warranted; to me it signals "do not trust this article" or "kooks have taken over this article" — and that's definitely not the case.

Image:Best fritz.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

This passage makes no sense: "Although his Change War novel, The Big Time, is about a war between two factions..." "Change War"? What is this trying to say? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.62.47 ( talk) 02:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
even though its background is a war across time and space".
That's the/a name of that background, used for some other works too. JöG ( talk) 13:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Two Sought Adventure is in the collections section, although it is a Fafhrd & Gray mouser collection later expanded to one of the Swords books. Bazaar of the Bizarre is also a F&GM-only collection, as is Rime Isle. And Ill Met in Lankhmar [the White Wolf 1995 compendium] was peculiarly split in paperback such that (eg) Thieves' House (pb, 2001) includes 10 stories, but not split as they were in the original collections, thus becoming a "new" F&GM collection. The Wikipedia page on Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser should perhaps be updated (especially in regard of compendia of the novels), and referenced from the section on the Leiber page to keep things wieldy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.105.47.250 ( talk) 13:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The list of works is too long for an article about the writer. Any objections if I split it to Bibliography of Fritz Leiber, and retain only book length works here? Mike Christie (talk) 11:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
I have spotted a number of inaccuracies in the bibliographic listing of works. I've already corrected two of these, but I will make some more adjustments when I spot things. I also think that Conjure Wife needs a section of its own. It is too important a work to be swept up with everything else the way it is now. Does anyone object? As it stands the synopsis of the book is wrong (it is taken from one of the cover blurbs) and there is no noting of the changes that the novel has gone through over time. Even the film information is not fully accurate for this novel. Eluard ( talk) 03:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the statement that Lieber coined the phrase "sword and sorcery", as this was actually Michael Moorcock. MikeEagling ( talk) 14:45, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Previously we said early in section Life that Unknown 1939 ("Two Sought Adventure", not named) was "his first published story", ref Anderson. I changed it to say that he introduced F&GM there (and to identify title, month, and editor), and I added coverage of six 1934/1935 stories just above, ref ISFDB ( Notes).
In section Writing career we call Two Sought Adventure "Leiber's first professional sale", without ref. That needs a source. If/when we learn more, the prose needs revision at least in the first instance.
ISFDB identifies about 20 Untitled items of short fiction by their opening words, sometimes also with a 1937 to 1941 date. (see the end of section Shortfiction) Probably it will be valuable to examine the 2010 collection Strange Wonders and expand coverage of the Leiber's early period in this biography. -- P64 ( talk) 17:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
{{ Infobox writer}} no longer supports the fields influences and influenced. Its template documentation now instructs (twice): "No longer supported. Please move cited/citable instances into prose."
Here are the current parameter values (cut and paste except bullet points):
See Talk: Ray Bradbury#Influences/influenced for some more explanation with cross-references. -- P64 ( talk) 18:43, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
I believe the image used in this article's infobox should be removed. It is not a picture of Leiber. It is the cover of a magazine, and it probably does not meet copyright requirements for this article. ImprovingWiki ( talk) 01:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
