I might have overdone it with external links to various publishing houses and a literary agency. Your opinions please? Debresser ( talk) 19:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Linnea's birthdate is not specified, as per her request and in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines on Biographies of living persons. Debresser ( talk) 19:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Overall, the article looks very good. A couple of things got my attention.
Debresser - I'd dive into the research/edits myself but have a huge list of things I need to deal with. -- Marc Kupper| talk 09:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm done on Wikipedia for the weekend but thought I'd wrap on outstanding items that got my attention.
Debresser, regarding your reverting what I had added to the article. The web sites Linnea Sinclair has direct control over (her linked in page, personal web site, etc.) are consistent is stating she's a former PI. Her linkedin page also states
Per what's she writing about herself she no longer owns/runs Island Investigations and apparently hasn't operated it for 8 or 9 years.
She does not have control over the secretsoftopprivateeyes web site as it belongs to someone else. That sites data may have been correct years ago and perhaps to help increase sales they simply don't bother to mention she has not been a PI for eight years. The home page is particularly misleading, or Linnea is wrong on own pages, with comments like "Linnea Sinclair, Private Investigator, operates the highly successful full service Private Investigator firm, 'Island Investigations.'"
Given the conflicting statements I'd tend to go with what she's saying today about herself on multiple web sites rather than this single site which exists to sell a $139 book and CD and likely would be considered a very poor source reference as it's clearly not neutral/researched information. -- Marc Kupper| talk 04:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
You were right. She corrected it herself. :) Debresser ( talk) 17:43, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Not bad, my friend. Not bad. :) Debresser ( talk) 21:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I was looking to see if PEARL is "notable" and noticed that a number of related authors have an "Awards" or "Awards and nominations" section
PEARL itself does not seem notable enough for its own article though it gets a section at Paranormal romance#Awards. -- Marc Kupper| talk 19:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I know all of the above.
I opted for intertwining the awards with the booklist. Personally I think this is a lot better. Thanks for the trouble. Debresser ( talk) 21:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
There's an article on the P.E.A.R.L. award on RomanceWiki. I had an external link pointing there, but quite some external links have been deleted in accordance with Wikipedia policy. Debresser ( talk) 20:58, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Since this is the second time my edit has been reverted I am bringing the discussion here. My edits keep being reverted saying that having redirect is intentional, this leads me to believe that redirecting is not sufficiently understood. The link Romantic fantasy, when you click on it, takes you to the article Fantasy romance which means that Romantic fantasy is a redirect link. If you want more information on redirects see WP:REDIRECT.
What I am doing is bypassing the redirected link but not changing the way the link looks. This is the wiki code: from [[Romantic fantasy|Romantic Fantasy]] to [[Fantasy romance|Romantic Fantasy]] and this is how it looks from Romantic Fantasy to Romantic Fantasy. It doesn't change but the redirect has been bypassed. There is no reason to go through a redirect when you can just link to the correct article in the first place. Do not revert my edit without discussing this here and do not try to WP:OWN an article; If you don't want your material to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it. -- ImmortalGoddezz ( t/ c) 20:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Dear Bearcat, thank you for adding the category "American women writers". But why did you remove the categories "writers" and "science fiction writers"?? She is a writer, and she is a science fiction writer. Debresser ( talk) 10:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
By the way, about the references in Space warfare in fiction you were right. My mistake. Sorry. Debresser ( talk) 10:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
You are right again. I had a look at [1] and it said to preferably categorize writers by genre. And at [2] it said to categorize science fiction writers by nationality. I might not completely agree with these instructions, but since this is an official guideline, I feel it necessary to amend what I did before. My apologies.
