Talk:William Kotzwinkle

ET novels
The article misrepresents the novelizations he wrote, linking to the movie and miscrediting a co-author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.60.136 (talk) 13:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Year of birth
I seem to find equal numbers of references to Kotzwinkle's DOB citing 1938 and 1943 (though always November 22, in Scranton, PA, when a day and/or place are provided). Does anyone have an authoritative, verifiable source for his year of birth, one way or the other?ShelfSkewed 21:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Billy was part of our crowd...Frank Johns, Bob Kranick, etc the date would be 1938. We were friend in Scranton for many years. Diane Dillmann Thompson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.202.7 (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Should we add refence to the movie based on his autobiographical novel?
Should we add refence to the movie based on his autobiographical novel Jack in the Box (eventually re-titled Book of Love)? Maybe a paragraph about Book of Love (1990 film). He wrote the novel it was based on and he wrote the screenplay. Antmusic 18:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

IMDB as a source
Nowhere in this section: WP:Citing_IMDb does it say that IMDB is categorically unreliable. I *does* point out several types of IMDB content that is unreliable, but birthdates are not one of them. =//= Johnny Squeaky 06:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * was correct to revert you, especially as both birthdates have reliable sources. WP:Citing IMDb mentions several types of IMDB content that are reliable, but birthdates are not among them. - Fantr (talk) 00:32, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
