[edit] Edits during move from Dan O'Neill

User:Khaosworks: thanks for the clarification on the wording that you changed back, after I moved all that stuff from the O'Neill article; I hope there's not much else that I obscured while trying to streamline the text. However, I do think we ought to strike the bit about O'Neill's "penchant for exaggeration". No matter how accurate that may be, without background it just looks like a bit of snarky POV, and in an encyclopedia article it's hard to address such things properly. The sources we refer to have it covered, I think - and the phrase "conflicting memories of the litigants" includes the contradictory things O'Neill has said. Thanks for all your work on these fascinating articles. ←Hob 15:03, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

I can live with that. I interviewed O'Neill for the purposes of my thesis on the Air Pirates. Fascinating guy, and a joy to talk to (but yes, he does tend to self-mythologize just a tad, but I suppose that falls foul of WP:NOR :) ...). I haven't spotted any major discrepancies about the move other than that, but if I see anything I'll tweak it, as I'm sure other people will as well. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:44, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
