I don't get it
What makes the page an "advertisement". I'd imagnine that the person who responsible for the header could at least explain it here. Axamoto 22:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

"Cameo of himself" ??
In the "Novelist" sub-section of the article, there is a one-paragraph summary of "The Night Gardener" which states: "In 2006 he published The Night Gardener, which was a major change of style and which featured a cameo of himself."

I read the book a few years ago, and could have missed or may have forgotten Pelecanos having a "cameo of himself." But a Google search did not uncover any review of the book which references Pelecanos making a cameo (although one review did mention that fictional detective Derek Strange made an easy-to-miss "cameo" appearance).

Frankly, a cameo appearance as himself strikes me as a weird, backslapping gesture that I doubt Pelecanos would make.

What is the textual evidence for the alleged "cameo of himself" in The Night Gardener? Did the Wikipedia author who asserted this confuse a Derek Strange cameo with one by Pelecanos? And even if Pelecanos did make a "cameo of himself," is that sufficiently noteworthy to be worth mentioning? (The main Wikiepedia page for The Night Gardener makes no mention of the alleged Pelecanos "cameo" in the book.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.149.207 (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
