400 Boys

This article lacks mention of Laidlaw's short story "400 Boys" which was published in the famous Mirrorshades anthology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:4700:9360:C81A:ECF7:3375:C0E2 (talk) 01:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

the 2nd and 3rd paragraph in the biography doesn't make sense.

"...he plays games like anybody. works as a legal secretary

"being around game designers.."

WTF?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.171.162.89 (talk) 02:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am hesistant to edit it but it doesn't seem especially relevant who he shares an office with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.43.78 (talk) 23:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It makes a difference because those are the guys from oldmanmurray.com, if you knew games you would know it was relevant (and if you didn't why remove it?). Mr Laidlaw has even updated his bio on the valvesoftware.com page to reflect the office and writing duty sharing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chowderbounder (talk • contribs) 16:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the pages for Marc Laidlaw and The 37th Mandala conflict. The page for Marc Laidlaw says that there are 3 of his books in Half-Life, but the page for The 37th Mandala says that there are 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.166.247 (talk) 01:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
