Untitled[edit]

I worked personally with CS Friedman at her employment, wherein she said her comment about the wilding. Bo-Lingua 07:48, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The comments on science fiction vs. fantasy and good vs. evil are also from personal conversations with the author. Steve Rapaport 17:39, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, Steve< I worry that both our comments will have to be removed because (based on info received on another bio) our comments constitute "Original Research." Don't know how we'll profit from anecdotal information put on a GFDL Encyclopedia where most of us go under user names, but, you know, whatever. Bo-Lingua 17:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ISBN[edit]

I have added the ISBN number for this article. Kilo-Lima|^(talk) 12:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

details on author's homepage[edit]

In the last paragraph of that introductory bit, a sentence comments that details are on the author's homepage. Can we have a reference link instead of saying "www.csfriedman.com"? The site is already referenced, so we should just be able to footnote it. I'm uncertain of the technical wikian code required to do this. --AaronRosenberg 01:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done - you can look at the main article to see how I used the <ref> tags. Marc Kupper (talk) (contribs) 05:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:C.S.Friedman.png[edit]

Image:C.S.Friedman.png 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"C. S. Friedman" not mentioned as nom de plum: rationale?[edit]

@Graham87, Ser Amantio di Nicolao, and Malcolmxl5: Greetings and felicitations. (I'd include Koavf, but that user seems to have taken a couple months' break from editing.) All of you are still active editors and have made edits to this article in the past, and I cannot find the answer in (an admittedly brief check of) the Manual of Style, so I am asking you: since Ms. Friedman writes under the name "C. S. Friedman", why isn't that fact mentioned in the article? What part of the MOS am I missing? Or is this just an oversight? —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DocWatson42: Probably just an oversight. Graham87 04:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DocWatson42: Agreed with Graham87: likely just an oversight. I see no reason not to add it, properly sourced. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87 and Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Okay—thank you both. ^_^ —DocWatson42 (talk) 05:03, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get to that soon. —DocWatson42 (talk) 06:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87 and Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Is this sufficient, or should I add or substitute another reference? There are two interviews (one, two) I could add. A search of Locus turned up nothing usable, and I don't know where else to turn but Google, which is the source of those two. —DocWatson42 (talk) 05:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's probably fine. Graham87 09:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
