[edit] Suggestion

One of the biggest problems with this article is that the whole point of the article seems to be an argument that this person is worthy of my reading about him because all of these other websites talk about him. Why not just focus on what he has done and provide any necessary references to work as cited references? It would present the information in a much more encyclopedic manner. At the moment it just seems like someone was really trying to prove to someone else that this guy was notable when they wrote the article. Peyna 00:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I took a stab at it; now someone else come in and revise away =] Peyna 00:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disambiguation... or something?

Currently a search for 'Jeff Lindsay' takes one directly to this page. There is another Jeff Lindsay article on Wikipedia, though — Jeff Lindsay (writer). I bring it up here because i'm not sure what the procedure is for situations like this. Do we add a disambiguation page, or just the little 'if you're looking for the other guy...' notice at the top? How do we decide who gets the redirect if the latter? I don't know. Maybe someone could look into it. ~ lav-chan @ 03:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I added disambiguation headers to both pages. If it's only two, no reason to create a separate page. ~ trialsanderrors 04:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
