[edit] Timescape author(s)

Amazon and http://www.sffworld.com/book/229.html both only give GB as the author, and that's all I remember from when I read the book. The only Google hits for HB are the present Wik articcle and a Russian page giving HB as daughter-in-law (?) and co-author. Is there any serious support for claiming she co-authored the book?

I have now removed the sil, since no one responded, and the originator used no nmae for contacting her/him. Kdammers 10:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book list on talk page?

Is there a reasion the book list on on the talk page and not the main page, or even linked from the main page to another page like List of books by Gregory Benford? Zvar 00:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

maybe because it's lifted with-out change from another site? I don't know if there is some policy or legal problem here. If not, then I think it should go onto the main page or a a link to the source at least be given if it isn't already. Kdammers 01:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question on attribution of Corollary on Clarke's Third Law

The reference seems to be Greg's use in Foundation's Fear in 1997. I've always heard this attributed to Dr. Barry Gehm. There is an attibution in a signature from a newsgroup posting in 1994. Do we have a definitive reference for origination of this corollary? --WikiTraveller 02:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Further investigation indicates it was published in Analog in 1991 and attributed to Dr. Gehm. --WikiTraveller 02:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hard SF

Why the deletion? Hard SF exists as an article, and GB certainly is a significant HSF writer. Kdammers 00:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
