Comments
Apologies for forgetting to reclick the "minor edit" box after a sloppy edit! Ted's ghosting of EQ's The Player on the Other Side is mentioned here: http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/kirkland/266/eq/eqoff.htm#ten k4f 15:59 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)
To the sampling of short stories, I would add "The Man Who Lost the Sea", "And My Fear Is Great", and "If All Men Were Brothers Would You Let One Marry Your Sister?"
corallary?
Isn't it supposed to be 'corollary?'
Date
Date of death differs from Find-A-Grave. Lincher 03:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The date (May 8, 1985) is mentioned in my copies of The Complete Stories of ... and Venus Plus X. It is most likely correct. JöG 07:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Trivia
It rather seems to me that the "Trivia" section ought to be removed. It deals entirely with a story that wasn't even written by Sturgeon; the only link is that his father happened to share his name with that of the story, but that's not very interesting given that Waldo wasn't that unusual a name in the early 20th century. 32.97.110.142 17:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just learned from reading this article that Sturgeon's birth surname was "Waldo", and the first thought that came to mind was whether Heinlein chose that name for his character as a shout-out to a colleague, not an unusual thing for authors to do. In one of his short story collections, Sturgeon related how Heinlein had helped him through some rough times, so the connection isn't implausible, but I agree it shouldn't be in here unless there's a reference. If anyone happens to have one...--NapoliRoma (talk) 05:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Problems
This article is sloppy. There's POV stuff about how great or how trusted thisi guy is. --69.255.17.40 02:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- If he was universily regarded as great and trustworthy, then it is not POV.Yobmod (talk) 10:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Image
Can anyone make an image of the "ask the next question" thing? Would be a great addition i think, as it is one of those rare times that an image really does give more than the words. I would do it, but i've never seen it, and the description is too vague.Yobmod (talk) 10:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
There is some info at Iliad Books. and The Theodore Sturgeon Page, including images. JöG (talk) 20:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
