Since I'm the author of this brief article (which I *will* expand), I ought to know whether I am a minor writer or not.

Hayford, have you read Wikipedia:Auto-biography ? --Stormie 03:35, Jun 2, 2004 (UTC)

Generally, Hayford, the procedure is that someone else finds you notable enough to write an article about you--while not a sufficient criterion for notability, it is a usually a necessary one. Otherwise, what's to stop people from polluting the main namespace with vanity pages about themselves? (Not saying your article is, but still, the principle is extremely important.) But then again, my sentiment is tempered by the fact that you appear to be the only professional sci-fi writer regularly contributing to the Wikipedia! --Ardonik.talk() 18:09, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

...I have no idea whether these and subsequent comments should be at Talk:Hayford Peirce or User talk:Hayford Peirce. This is indeed an awkward situation. --Ardonik.talk() 18:11, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Peirce

Where did this unusual spelling come from? I've always seen it as "Pierce". Is it the same process that turned Murphy into Murphree or Chisholm into Chism? Just curious...Peter1968 07:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
