added criticism in writing career, both pro and against (this is an encyclopedia entry not a fan page.) Californiafixer (talk) 04:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)californiafixer[reply]

This article could do with comments and or ratings. And it really does need a PD image. Thanks Californiafixer (talk) 01:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see nobody has done any work on this article except me. Californiafixer (talk) 22:39, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

australia?[edit]

Where does it say he lives in australia? as far as I know he lives in Colorado. Rileyinspace (talk) 03:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)riley[reply]

Mckinty lives in Australia. Many sources say so. Californiafixer (talk) 04:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Californiafixer[reply]

warwick[edit]

ian, i changed it to warwick university rather than u of warwick, as i think the sentence flows better, also added 'the' in front of your oxford change ----riley

trilogies[edit]

I don't see the point of dividing this entry up into the two trilogies plus other books. Also the Michael Forsythe trilogy is a dead link. The links to the individual books are also dead. Either someone should write these entries or remove the links Masterbuilder11 (talk) 03:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)MasterbuilderMasterbuilder11 (talk) 03:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Masterbuilder. I'm not going to touch the trilogies entry or write the subentries. I tied up some of the language. I do think this entry still needs work. Masterbuilder11 (talk) 05:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)masterbuilder[reply]

I agree that this entry is badly organized. Whats the point of dividing the book section into 3 separate entries with dead links? If the two trilogies had their own entries I'd agree but otherwise 1 section, linked or not will make it fit better with Wikipedia guidelines.

Also Wikipedia STRONGLY DISCOURAGES the use of Trivia Sections....Benghazi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldbenghazi (talk • contribs) 03:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

trivia[edit]

I didn't divide this entry up into those sections, the person who wrote the original entry did that not me. But if you dont like it, why dont you change it instead of just complaining about it?

I did write the trivia section but I dont see any problem with it. There are lots of trivia sections all over wikipedia. There is no OFFICIAL POLICY that I can see. Rileyinspace (talk) 05:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)Riley[reply]

photograph[edit]

I attempted to add a photograph from the book jacket, which acc to Wiki guidelines is fair use. However I think I didnt add the right tag in the image upload so I think this image is going to be deleted in a few days. Sorry. I dont have the time or knowledge to do this correctly.

Swearing in the name of “Jesus” in The Chain[edit]

The Chain is a very readable but why do you use the name of “ Jesus “

as a swear word

I haven’t read any of your other books so I don’t know if this is just a bad habit But a person of your intellect should know better than swearing in “ Jesus “ name It’s one of the 10 Commandments It’s Blasphemy I hope in the future you will choose a more appropriate explanation when trying to express a situation Regards Una McLean 2A02:C7D:7056:A000:A97E:918E:17AA:6BB3 (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
