Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 04:57, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another comment on Bibliography: I looked up the publication info for "Angel Killer: A True Story...". It looks like the story is in the wrong category in the bibliography. It's listed as a book but it's actually a long article printed in a magazine (Link below), (Kindle version has 39 pages). I wasn't sure how the book/article should be classified so I left as is & am leaving the Atavist Magazine link here for someone with experience in such things... Link: The Atavist Magazine Angel Killer. (lol-also looks too icky for me) Aimzzz (talk) 13:53, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Blush... just realized that the story in the Biblio is already linked to the magazine. However I think there should be some publication info at the end of the title. Aimzzz (talk) 14:33, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Waddell?

I recast a statement about his claims to conform to NPOV, but I'm unsure if, as is, his pieces are sufficiently novel to merit their own section in this article. It appears that they're all self-published blog posts, and that he doesn't independently have sufficient standing to merit inclusion, versus the many other articles on the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctbeiser (talk • contribs) 08:15, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
