[edit] Pronounciation?

Can someone who knows include a note on how Leiber is pronounced?

 - It's pronounced Lye-ber with a long i - Matthew
long i? /aI/?
Could someone move it to the top with proper phonological accreditations, and out of the "Trivia" section? -- Yamara 00:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

The page has expanded so much that it has become unwieldy. Anyone besides me up for reorganizing it? -- Career, early influences, dry spells -- Leiber had the November 1959 issue of Fantastic devoted to only his new stories, and a Special Author issue of F&SF appeared in 1969, with the usual new work, appreciation, bibliography, etc. Should these be added?

Unwieldy? Perhaps a bit, but I found it reasonably complete, well written and unbiased (visited it for the first time today). I don't think the 'cleanup' tag on the page is warranted; to me it signals "do not trust this article" or "kooks have taken over this article" — and that's definitely not the case.

I took out some POV passages. Mainly what it needs now are some subheads--but it's hard to put them in the way it's organized now. It needs a little reshuffling first.

If someone else thinks it's cleaned up enough, they can go ahead and take off the tag. Nareek 03:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

IJWTS I think this "catches" Fritz very well. Shulamuth 04:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Best fritz.JPG

Image:Best fritz.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
