[edit] early comment

In response to DuncanCummings tagging of "uncited statements" ("citation needed"), I have begun to insert dated citations for the quotes. These are being taken from press quotes and reviews from Gary Lucas's website and other online sources, with his permission. Gyre2k

[edit] Gods and Monsters

This is currently linking to an unrelated movie - it either needs to be re-named or unlinked SatuSuro 14:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I delinked Gods and Monsters, it leads to a movie not related to this article. There is an album title by that name but its by "I Am Kloot"[1] and also not related to this title. Added a citation needed.--Dakota 18:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete request denied

This article was listed for speedy deletion but after reviewing I have declined to do so - while the first two paragraphs resemble the text here they are not identical. The article has a long history from multiple contributors, which means it does not satisfy WP:CSD G12. Qwghlm 23:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Accepted. For the record though, there's only really been one contributor and he's only made edits to this article - perhaps this is a case of WP:AUTO. The editor needs to understand that this is an encyclopaedia and is not a place to insert promotional material about yourself however tempting that opportunity may be. I hope that he or someone else can devote some time to rewriting the article in an neutral, encyclopaedic tone. —Moondyne 23:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article style and referencing

I've had a go at updating this article to more neutral and appropriate style, and better information and cites. It does need the many quotes, claims, and accolades to be cited though. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 22:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
