Talk:F. Paul Wilson

Untitled
"due entirely to the incontinent issue of fiat money by the Federal Reserve. ... enabling the reader to readily understand that the flaming fraudulence masquerading as "monetary policy" is simply another kind of thieving government confidence game." This needs to be re-written: it is clearly POV ("entirely," "confidence game").Kdammers 00:37, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the LaNague Chronicles listing. Hopefully, no one will mess it up. Emb021 14 March 2006

"Wilson is a noted fan of the horror great H. P. Lovecraft and has written more than a few Cthulhu Mythos stories and novels." Ok. could someone point out the Cthulhu Mythos stories and novels? I am not aware of any, other then a few short stories. Many of his horror stories (including the Repairman Jack stuff) is 'mythos-like', but not explicity linked. --Emb021 16:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The Keep makes explicit mention of some of the "notorious grimoires" of the Mythos, including Unaussprechlichen Kulten and De Vermis Mysteriis. Cuza finds them in the keep and uses them to discern the identity and purpose of Molassar. Canonblack 12:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Regarding the Repairman Jack movie and "citation needed". Here's a link to the official repairman jack site and some news about the current state of the movie: http://www.repairmanjack.com/news.php#12 Love44 22:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

The link to the novel Bloodline goes to a book written by somebody else in the 1970's. Can somebody correct this?--Guerre 17:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I think we should add "Doctor" to Paul's occupation (currently "Author"), as he is also a part-time physician, and this is an important part of his life. Bymightywaterways (talk) 03:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wilson started out as a full-time general practitioner (graduating Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1973) and only a part-time writer. His medical background shows up most prominently in his earliest stories and novels. Living and practicing in South Jersey, I'd encountered him several times at Osteopathic medical conferences during the '80s and '90s, while I'd not bumped into him at any of the libertarian political gatherings or science fiction conventions commonly held in the Mid-Atlantic region (Philcon, Boskone, Lunacon, etc.), so I'd put his medical professional focus as a priority. — SJ Doc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.173.13 (talk) 15:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Lead section now acceptable?
The single sentence of the lead section looks unexceptionable to me. Assuming it now meets 'Pedia standards, can somebody w/ the capability take the complaining note off this article?

And if it doesn't, will somebody explain why the heck it's NOT acceptable? GeorgeTSLC (talk) 17:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The template that calls its acceptability into question contains two links, which you obviously did not follow, to extensive information about what is required by WP in an article lead. This lead does not meet those requirements, therefore the template.  If I had no idea who Wilson was, that lead would not give me any better idea.  He's a writer from New Jersey?  So what?  Why does he warrant a WP article? Rewrite the lead to answer that question, and it will be closer to meeting the acceptability requirements. 12.233.147.42 (talk) 00:59, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
