I reverted the "see also" link to Usenet salute because it's really tangential: that another article has a "see also" to something Walton wrote isn't sufficient reason to link to said other article. Vicki Rosenzweig 01:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
There's a Jo Walton credited as a backing vocalist on " Life in a Northern Town" by The Dream Academy. 121a0012 00:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

"Manual of style" is not a mandate (unlike the rules about avoiding potentially actionable content), and in any case does not say that things like where someone was born or that they're married aren't appropriate content. Vicki Rosenzweig 03:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I've returned the citation request, originally placed in August, to support the following statement: "Her poem "The Lurkers Support Me in E-Mail" is widely quoted on it [which I take to mean "online fandom", though this is unclear] and in other online arguments, often without her name attached." My issue with the sentence has to do with prevalence not plagiarism. While I acknowledge that the title garners 324 ghits, I see no real evidence that the poem is "widely quoted". In fact, a google search combining the first two lines ("The Lurkers support me in e-mail" + "They all think I'm great don't you know") provides only 11 unique ghits. The citation request was appended on the assumption in good faith that there existed a source to support the associated claim. Unfortunately, I've yet to see one.

The article currently has the statement, "Many of her characters are based on her son, Alexander.[citation needed]". This statement is not just unsourced, it's actively denied by Walton herself. [1] I'm therefore removing it.-- Goldfarbdj ( talk) 08:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I am fairly sure that Jo isn't (yet) a Canadian citizen, but a permanent resident, despite that 2010 thread citation; I'm going to check that and either correct the page or remove or update this note. Vicki Rosenzweig ( talk) 11:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
