After a protracted argument on the Dyson sphere talk page that seemed to be going nowhere, I decided to consolidate and restate the basic issues concerning this section in general, and one particular instance that has proven especially vexing, as I see them. I hope that members of this and other related WikiProjects might weigh in and give their opinions. P Aculeius ( talk) 18:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
"Cosmic Stories Blog" by Elizabeth Stanway
I just came across something called "Cosmic Stories Blog" by Elizabeth Stanway, an astrophysicist at the University of Warwick (the blog is hosted on the university's website). I took a quick look at some of the blog entries, and they seem like they could be useful for quite a few Wikipedia articles—if they are usable, which is what I wanted to ask here.
My thinking is as follows: according to
this page, Stanway has been published in
Foundation,
The Conversation, and a book on
Doctor Who, among others. That should mean that, when it comes to science fiction, Stanway counts as established
subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by
reliable, independent publications
per
WP:Self-published sources, making "Cosmic Stories Blog" a reliable enough (even if low-profile/marginal) source for science fiction content. I wanted to hear if others agree or disagree with that assessment.
Ping some editors I know to be knowledgeable about sci-fi sources: @ Piotrus, Mike Christie, and Olivaw-Daneel: what do you think? TompaDompa ( talk) 00:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ TompaDompa That seems like a valid case. I'd recommend attributing her too. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Looking for one book. I only remember the beginning of the piece. Some guy found a derelict computer, sat down at it and started doing something, and then he saw a man with a gun walk up to the desk, they looked at each other in silence for a while, then the guy mechanically pressed the Enter button and the man shot him back. The work was read in the 1990s or very early 2000s. The piece appeared no later than the 1990s (probably earlier). I also remember that the guy was doing something enthusiastically on the computer: at first he typed without looking at the screen, but the message on the computer monitor made him do his work more slowly and carefully. The phrases went something like this. The message on the computer screen made him work more carefully. Behind the desk stood a man with a gun in his hand. The guy had never seen a real gun, except in the movies, but he knew immediately what it was. The guy's hand dropped mechanically to the Enter button, and the same second the black muzzle of the gun burst into flames, ending his life. Vyacheslav84 ( talk) 23:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
