Talk:Edward S. Ellis

Untitled
call it naive or not (PLEASE read before you change anything) I STARTED THIS ARTICLE COS MY FATHER READ EDWARD S. ELLIS NOVELS FOR ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG, AND I MAY BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT THEM, BUT WIKIPEDIA HAS ARTICLES ABOUT THE STRANGEST THINGS, THE MOST USELESS CAPTAINS OF UNEMPLOYED SUMERIAN WARRIORS IN 3000 BC, SO IT REALLY OFFENDS ME, THAT NO ARTICLE EXISTS ON EDWARD S. ELLIS! I COULD STAND A 'STUB' ARTICLE, BUT NO ARTICLE AT ALL, THATS OFFENDING - IT MAKES ME FEEL AS IF IMMORTALITY THRU ARTS DOESNT EXIST, ANY WRITER, NO MATTER HER OR HIS ABILITIES, CAN BE FORGOTTEN AT ANY TIME - I'LL LEAVE THIS ARTICLE FOR ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT EDWARD S ELLIS - I KNOW NOTHING MORE THAN THAT I LIKE HIM & THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY HIS GRANDGRANDCHILDREN OR THE GRANDGRANDCHILDREND OF HIS CLOSEST, OR ANYBODY ELSE WHO ENJOYED HIS NOVELS - THEY SOLD IN GREAT QUANTITIES, I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE - HASNT AT LEAST STARTED SUCH AN ARTICLE YET

THAT HE HAS BEEN IGNORED DOESNT JUST OFFEND ME, IT TERRIFIES ME! A MAN CAN ACHIEVE SO MUCH WHILE ALIVE, HE CAN REACH SUCH PEAKS OF SUCCESS, THAT IT CONFUSES ANYBODY ALIVE, YET WHEN A FEW DECADES HAVE PASSED, NOBODY GIVES A DAMN I MEAN IT, SERIOUSLY, IT REALLY TERRIFIES ME, OTHERWISE I WOULDNT HAVE WRITTEN THIS MANIC ESSAY ON THE PROBLEM (will post it in 'discussion' as well, just to irritate you :P)


 * Thank you for starting the article. Ellis wrote enough popular books that he is certainly notable. Hopefully future readers will not be so dismayed when they go searching for Ellis here on Wikipedia. DickClarkMises 18:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Early career when?
We say: "During the mid-1880s, after a fiction-writing career of some thirty years ..."

He was born in 1840. Was Seth Jones (1860) not his first book? The beginnings of his career should be covered here. --P64 (talk) 19:31, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
