In an earlier update I added as one of John Moore's works The Buddha Way (1980, ISSN 0878881530), written with William Corlett, on the authority of the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Further research has shown that the co-author of this work was a different John Moore, who wrote a number of books on various religions with Corlette, so I have removed the reference. Just in case anyone wonders why it's gone and is tempted to put it back in! BPK 21:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Someone seems to have added a citation to the TVTropes Wiki. TVTropes is in no way a reliable source, since it's editable by anyone. In fact, I created the TVTropes page being cited, and I assure you all that I am not a reliable source! :) There's multiple references, so I really don't have time to clean it up now (and check the history for any "citation needed" tags that may have been removed). If anyone else wants to do so before I get back, that would be great. Xtifr tälk 09:24, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
I deleted two of the stories and three of the four scholarly articles in the bibliography, as these were written by different John Moores. I verified this via email to the address on Moore's web page. I also corrected the birth date from June 15 to June 13. Moore said the june1506 in his email address was merely the date the account was created. 73.166.234.21 ( talk) 23:09, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I made very slight edits to the bio. Moore worked as a roughneck in the oilfields, not as a driller. In the oil industry, a driller is a rather specialized job. He worked full time and went to college part time, which is why it took so long to get a degree. He never had a job as a programmer, only as an engineer. I verified this with an email to Moore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.137.134.50 ( talk) 14:51, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
