Talk:Edgar Pangborn

Year Checking
Can someone find out when Angels Egg (by Edgar Pangborn of course) was published ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.109.201 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 28 May 2010

Aren't the references in the article good enough for you? ISFDB says in Galaxy, June 1951. JöG (talk) 21:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I missed that they would have been good enough for me had I seen them.97.102.109.201 (talk) 20:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Ah. I it found buried in the article. Shouldn't it be in Science fiction (stand alone)?97.102.109.201 (talk) 20:57, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

A "writer's writer"
I'm removing the part that says


 * In his introduction to Edgar's posthumous story collection Still I Persist In Wondering, Spider Robinson called Edgar a "writer's writer,"

because I've reread that introduction three times, and cannot find that anywhere. It's also damning with faint praise, since Robinson also wrote that he "loved Pangborn with all his heart" and that Pangborn's writing made him "more reconciled to being alive". JöG (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Bibliographic abbreviations
If anyone knows what the abbreviations (n, nv, in, ss, vi&mdash;have I missed any?) in the bibliography stand for, could you please expand them or wikilink to an explanation of the abbreviation? I haven't a clue! Thanks. Peter Chastain  [habla, por favor]  21:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * These are almost surely from The Locus Index to Science Fiction . See this list of abbreviations.


 * Specifically
 * n= "novel (over 100 pages, over 40,000 words)"
 * nv= "novelette (21-45 pages, 7,500-17,499 words)"
 * in="introduction"
 * ss="short story (4-20 pages, 1,000-7,499 words)"
 * vi="vignette (under 4 pages, under 1,000 words)"
 * I hope that helps. This probably means the biblio, or that section of it, was cut and pasted from Locus Online, which ought to be acknowledged. 50.203.145.82 (talk) 17:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


 * What would help more is to write in English. I will see if I can finish that job now.  Zaslav (talk) 04:06, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. Zaslav (talk) 04:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
