Untitled[edit]

I really do think that Samohi was in Dogtown, rather than "near" it. It's only several blocks from the ocean, and Dogtown is the South side of Santa Monica + the North side of Venice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scooge (talk • contribs) 01:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The excessive parentheticals, the "breezy" prose style, the detailed knowledge of biographical irrelevancies: who could have written this, WHO I ask you??66.142.211.134 (talk) 18:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"After an engineer neglected to bleep"??[edit]

In other words, she lost her job because she said "fuck" on the air. There might be a case for this phrasing if she had told the engineer in advance that she planned to say it and that the engineer understood that it was to be bleeped, and didn't do so--but without some evidence of that this seems self-serving. It's like saying I got a speeding ticket because my cruise-control didn't work.Shrikeangel (talk) 22:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The segment was pre-recorded, and the subject apparently had an agreement with the engineer that he would bleep it out, but he forgot. I've restored the material with two sources. I haven't seen any source that disputes that account. The station manager's view was that it was still Tsing Loh's responsibility to make sure the bleeping was done before she left the studio. Is it sef-serving? Yes, but that doesn't mean it isn't the standard version. Will Beback talk 23:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I won't bother adding it too, but this is another source: "A stand against pompous gasbags" Salon.com. Will Beback talk 23:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The excessive parentheticals, the "breezy" prose style, the detailed knowledge of biographical irrelevancies: who could have written this, WHO I ask you?" Actually, I wrote a lot of it. Loh isn't the only good writer in the damned country.Scooge (talk) 16:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
