Talk:Paul Shepard

Infobox added but needs more
I added the Infobox writer to start fleshing out this page. I incorporated what info was already available but others can help by filling in missing information such as birthdate (if we can be more exact) as well as an photo. The subject entry in the info box could probably be more complete. It is a little hard to know where to stop. Kirkmona (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

References needed
The article seems to be a good start but is severely lacking in references. There is only one at this point. Shepard is a very notable author in the field but so far this article does not back that up. Kirkmona (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Death Info
I moved the death info up in the article as it conflicted with the "Early Life and Education" heading. In reality, the info can probably be removed completely as it is in the Infobox as well but this was the ONLY referenced material in the entire article so I'm reluctant to remove it entirely.

List of Works
There is a link here http://home.earthlink.net/~frshepard/PaulShepardbib.html that has a complete bibliography as typed up by his wife. I personally don't think everything should be included but what about just listing his books in a "List of Works" section. I see many other authors have this on their pages. It would appear as follows:
