Talk:Stanley G. Weinbaum

death
According to his widow, Margaret Kay, Weinbaum died of lung cancer. (See interview with Davin, Eric Leif, Pioneers of Wonder, Prometheus Press, New York, 1999, p.180.) -- 12:31, 20 February 2006 Kavalier~enwiki


 * It should be noted that Thomas Rogers, who says "complications from throat cancer," gets his information from Robert Bloch, who knew Weinbaum. Myself, I've known people who've died from both, John Brunner's wife, Margery, who died from throat cancer, and my father, who indeed died from lung cancer. There was a period in the '50s and early '60s when all cancers seemed to become lung cancers at the moment radioiodine became a cure for thyroid cancer. Just sayin'. The first external source leads to a citation that gives "complications from throat cancer."

Shifting Seas
Should be an article or some discussion on "Shifting Seas", which anticipates current speculation about future climate catastrophes in some ways... AnonMoos (talk) 00:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The other two
The article says: "Asimov went on to describe A Martian Odyssey as one of only three stories that changed the way all subsequent ones in the science fiction genre were written." And what were the other two stories? It would have improved the article is it instead said something like "Asimov went on to describe A Martian Odyssey together with ... and ... as the three stories that changed the way all subsequent ones in the science fiction genre were written". 2A02:FE0:C900:1:ADC4:D2C2:F604:A44D (talk) 15:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Untitled
I’m not sure how to say this, but this guy is a relative of mine (by marriage). He married my grandmother’s sister. My mom actually used to stop over at his house in Milwaukee and hang out with him. Talk to him have milk and cookies with him. She said he treated her like a real person unlike most adults, the reason that I am adding this is that he couldn’t have gone to the University of Wisconsin Madison (where I went) because he was in Milwaukee. The other tidbit is that he was kicked out of school for taking an exam for another student. After Weinbaum died, his wife, Marge, who was born in Waco Texas, married an Austrian born (some sources say Schwabian/Bavarian), Milwaukee physician named Eugene Kay and they had several children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rberlow (talk • contribs) 04:08, 10 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but we can't just take your word for it, plus you probably got this info second-hand. The university's archives say he was granted admission. Also, the tidbit is already in the article. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The archive even gives his addresses in 1920, 1921 and 1922. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
