Information in the bibliography is from http://www.spensarium.com/. --JerryFriedman
- Did you get permission to use it? Or, rather, did whoever put it there get permission? -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 00:39, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- I was the one who put it there, before remembering to log in. No, I didn't get permission. The same (I hope) information is widely available on the Web and elsewhere. Do we need permission? If so, I'll e-mail the editor of the page. --JerryFriedman

- The short answer is "yes", though you're right, this sort of information is fairly generic. I mean, I wouldn't expect huge issues, but the guy does have a customary "all rights reserved" thing on his page, and Wikipedia does its best to observe the proprieties. -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 00:51, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- I need to get some help about talk pages, since I suspect that's where we should continue this discussion. Do I just edit your talk page?

I deleted Playback from the bibliography since I'm not sure what it is, maybe a screenplay based on a Chandler novel. I added Joan Parker's middle initial since that's how she's listed at Amazon. --JerryFriedman 01:40, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hmm. Do we really need to specify that the doctorate is earned? I mean, it's not as though when people see "doctorate" they think it's usually honorary. -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽ 22:50, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I do tend to think that a best-selling novelist's doctorate in literature is likely to be honorary. In my opinion, what the page could really use is a short bio that would explain this and other things naturally. And since I just found the articles at http://bullets-and-beer.com/Backgrou.htm, which look pretty reliable, I think I'm going to write one. --JerryFriedman 00:16, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- His doctorate is not honorary, it was earned at Boston University. He wrote a thesis regarding prior detective character models. http://www.bullets-and-beer.com --K. Heselton 18:44, 04 Dec 2005

- The fact that his doctorate was earned has been in the article since early on and still is there. Kukkurovaca and I were discussing whether it should be mentioned, and if so, how. —JerryFriedman 00:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
