References issue
(For ref so numbers don't get lost: 31 Hugo and Campbell Awards Winners". Locus Online, 30: Chatbeeb 33 Brownfield, Robin . "'Doctor Who,' 'Batman Begins,' 'Battlestar Galactica' Nominated For Nebulas". SyFy Portal. 34 Rowe, Josiah . ""Blink" gets Nebula nod". Outpost Gallifrey. 39 Digital Spy )

According to WikiProject_Doctor_Who, the news section on Outpost Gallifrey is acceptable? The JPS talk to me  17:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So it is. Whoops. I shall remove it from the above list forthwith - we eb il oo bi l  ( talk ) 18:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Do I interpret correctly that Locus or its online incarnation aren't considered reliable sources? It's been published for the better part of 40 years and has marketed itself as "the newspaper of the science fiction field" for most of that time - I was a subscriber for about 20 years from 1983 until unemployment meant I had to save money, but I think you would need an extremely good reason to discount it as it does have a very strong reputation for being comprehensive, especially for things like Hugo and Nebula winners. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 01:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've left a note at the Doctor Who project to ask for help with the two remaining refs. The JPS talk to me  10:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The Locus ref is the only disputed ref left now, I think. The JPS talk to me  11:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Locus is a long-standing sci-fi fandom magazine, and should be considered a reliable source for any claims relating to sci-fi and genre fandom. It's probably one of the best possible source in that area, in fact. We could switch to the organization actually giving the awards, but frankly, Locus is good enough that this would not actually add any reliability to speak of. Phil Sandifer (talk) 15:30, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added an additional reference to Outpost Gallifrey to support the same information as Locus. Unless I'm missing something, all of the reviewer's points should now have been addressed? The JPS talk to me  12:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me! I'm passing the article - we eb il oo bi l  ( talk ) 10:03, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

As is required at WP:GAN, here are weebiloobil's points for further improvement (completely free of charge, of course):


 * Expand the article more towards his personal life, particularly the bits not related to his career


 * Don't focus on awards so much: they are important, but don't need repeating in the lead and every subsequent section


 * Maintain the development of the article carefully, especially in relation to Doctor Who. I don't want to see this article at WP:GAR
