A lot of the bio text is copied from the official website. Is that OK? And, in any case, does it read right for the wiki? My feeling is no, it doesn't, fwiw. Modesitt's humour about himself is fine when it's his site but reads oddly when repeated 3rd-party by us. --82.35.17.203 23:29, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Where is it copied from? - Tεxτurε 23:32, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] agreed about tone of article

I agree about the tone of the article. It's better than nothing, but it would be better to reword it into something more dry, but more technically accurate. More encyclopedic. :-)

I will have a go at making it closer to they style you want. I will also update the bibliography. - Kvetch, 25 March, 21:22 GMT (Sorry, cannot work out how to get my name and date into standard form)

[edit] date of release

Is there any reason to keep the date of release for "Soarer's Choice" more specific than just the year (like everything else listed on the page)? ~Gertlex 18:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
