[edit] Cleanup
This article needs a cleanup. Key issues to be addressed:
- NPOV - Jack used instead of Coggins or he;
- Provision of verifiable sources - he has an entry on Galenet's Contemporary Authors Online.
[edit] From author of article
- I have cleaned up the article and removed personal references. I have added more internal and external links, but I don't know how to access the Galenet listing. I have added a bibliography of his book and magazine work. Please bear with me as I am new to this - as must be obvious by now. Dcoggins 00:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- I have further cleaned up the article, added some more internal references and added some print references (is this appropriate??). Dcoggins 05:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Added more external references, a link to the Galenet listing, links to images of his books, and more print references. Dave 01:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
I added an infobox, but it still requires spouse and religion. -- Avi 01:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major Additions
I have added much more detail to this article, and expanded it considerably, with a view to improving its rating and usefulness. I have more detail still which can be added if it's thought worthwhile. Dave 07:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Footnotes
I will be adding footnotes as required to this article shortly. Dave 07:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great. -- Avi 07:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Have started work on this - will continue as time permits. Dave 22:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have virtually finished the footnotes for this article. Hopefully this is acceptable now? Dave 02:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article
Well done! -- Avi 16:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you very much - it is very pleasing to see the article rated GA -- Dave 21:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
You put a lot of hard work in, and now this is rated one of the best 3000-4000 articles or so in wikipedia (GA, then A, then FA). Well done indeed

[edit] Religion
Was Coggins religious? -- Avi 20:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, he was not at all religious, maybe even anti-religion, perhaps unusual for such an artistic person. Both Coggins and his wife (who died earlier this month) willed that there was to be no funeral service and left their bodies to medical research. -- Dave 21:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- I added Religion = None, but both that line and the next line in the biog box don't show up on the page. What am I doing wrong? -- Dave 22:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Firstly, do you have any reliable sources for the irreligiosity? I know you have first-hand information, but that is not acceptable under WP:NOR. Secondly, none is the default so that it does not show; you would need to put atheist, but I would not do that unless we can source it. Same with the leaving the body to science; if that was in print anywhere (such as an obit or memorium) great, otherwise, I think we need to leave it out. -- Avi 23:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fair enough - I don't have any sources for his lack of religion other than personal knowledge, so I'll leave it out. His published obit (and his wife's) stated "arrangements by Humanity Gift Registry" who according to Google arrange donation of the body to medical school. I could add that to the article if you think it worthwhile. -- Dave 03:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
