Banks
We don't do inline external links, and we can't have unreferenced information on articles. --John (talk) 11:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Please stop undoing my edit. Iain Banks references this web site, which was set up specifically by him and for him during his fast illness. He mentions it specifically in the BBC interview with Kirsty Wark. It is still up, running and a living tribute to Iain. His responses are listed there. It is also documented in his 'Personal Statement' on his publisher's web site. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotarts1 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * We aren't a memorial. I will continue to remove it. Why not discuss this at Talk:Iain Banks if you are unhappy? --John (talk) 17:48, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. No one asked anyone to make a memorial page, but what you have is factually incorrect. As an act of creativity (et al.) he created that web site as a sort of conceptual project through the process of his death. It was referenced by the BBC, and CLEARLY in his announcement. The site, and his interactions there ARE the memorial - but mentioning it on his page is not.


 * I now see why Wikipedia will never come close to anything scholarly or broad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotarts1 (talk • contribs)


 * It would be neither scholarly nor broad to include any old stuff. The factoid about his car choice was completely unreferenced. Once again, if you can find a decent source for this, it can go in. If you can't, it can't. Very simple. --John (talk) 12:50, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
