[edit] summaries read like press releases
Is there any way to reword them to be less "pulpy"? -- nae'blis (talk) 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What happens after Z
Has she given any indication of what she will do if and when she gets to Z? Nil Einne 21:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Linda Christas
What editor out there has a problem with listing Sue Grafton's acceptance of a Chair for Literature at our school. Every time a student adds the information, an editor (could only be from a rival school already on Wikipedia) deletes the information. For Pete sake, Wikipedia won't even allow our school a listing. What kind of prejudice are we experiencing here? What, you don't like high schools or what? Somebody at Wikipedia is wearing a hair shirt for Linda Christas Academy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.227.237 (talk • contribs)
I'm not the editor that has done the removals, but I support them whole heartedly. Why? Because when I spoke with one of the then current members of the board, Alison Jiear, I found that her involvement with Linda Christas had consisted of the following conversation: "Do you want to be listed as a board member of our school?" "Sure, why not". Total length of involvement: 2 minutes, tops. I can only assume that the other "board members" are listed for similar exchanges. A casual conversation on that level hardly rates any sort of focus on a Wikipedia bio. If what I said doesn't apply to other board members, then let me know and I'll contact them for verification as well. - Richfife 19:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Can this style of title be trademarked.
I was wondering if the style of novel title that Sue Grafton uses, (i.e., A is for Alibi, B is for … etc) can be trademarked or copyrighted. My understanding is that titles can't be copyrighted but could they be considered a trademark of hers. Does anyone know what is the case here?--Dmol (talk) 13:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, and even if it could it's hardly her invention. R is for Rocket and S is for Space are just two of the dozens of earlier books using this form of title. - Dravecky (talk) 14:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Novels of Sue Grafton
I've added short articles with infoboxes and references for each of the 17 "alphabet" novels that still needed them. I've also created a handy Sue Grafton novels navigational template, a category for the novels of Sue Grafton, and wikified where I could in the existing articles. I feel confident that there are many other editors who can add on to this jumpstart and encourage them to jump in to expand these articles. - Dravecky (talk) 14:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
