Talk:Crawdaddy!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I created a separate article for Paul Williams (Crawdaddy! creator), mainly because upon discovering this article I wondered if he was the more famous one, the singer and actor. I used the last paragraph of this article and will credit the author in the talk page of the new article. Also clarified that Crawdaddy! is now defunct. Spalding 13:18, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

This article is about the magazine Crawdaddy! (with the !) - not about sci-fi fandom --JimWae 16:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I can see your point of view here (just don't call it "sci-fi" please); but Ted White and Samuel Delany, at least, are big names: Ted as a jazz critic and Delany as an author. Also, Ted was the "my mimeographer has gone to Mexico" mentioned in issue #2 of Crawdaddy! [1] I'd like to at least restore them to the honor roll. --Orange Mike 19:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Surely, there's lots more to starting a mag than getting writers & some names could be noted - though sourcing who did what (apart from doing OR based on memories) could be a problem. Also, the current article glosses over the fact there were 3 phases (at least) to the magazine - that needs expansion too --JimWae 05:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
