 * I knew who this was without even looking at the hook; awesome. However, the article has issues. Firstly, the only source dealing with Wong as a writer and not his work is from adhominem, which doesn't look like a reliable source. Two other sources are questionable, from RevolutionSF and Jodie Lee into the mirror. Secondly, you need a reference for the fact that he is a post-modern writer. Third, the content of the article has pretty much nothing on the man; most of it is a rehash of information at John Dies at the End. These all need to be fixed.

 * Removed the post-modern tag in the infobox. Adhominem seems to have an editorial staff and large group of writers.  I will look for more info on "the man". -- Esemono (talk) 23:08, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * K, I think I'll accept Ad Hominem for this. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:26, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg added more sources and expanded on non-movie/book related material. -- Esemono (talk) 03:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Title formatting on the adhominem reference needs to be fixed (at least capitalise David Wong). Also, some of the language is a little flowery ("spending his days checking insurance claims for typos", for example). This could use a comb through to make it more encyclopedic. I've checked paraphrasing against the adhominem interview. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Done -- Esemono (talk) 15:20, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Not yet, the language still reads rather flowery — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:02, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * OK did some changes, what about now? -- Esemono (talk) 02:47, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks acceptable now (I've done a fairly large copyedit)  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
