Untitled

Original Terry Dowling pages was very dense text, mostly apparently sourced from his website (making it's use on wikipedia a copyright infringement). Have cleaned up the bio information, but the section on published works is unchanged. It's my opinion that discussion of each story shouldgo on a page for that story rather than on this page. Some statements remain unverified.

contested statement removed

He has been genre reviewer for The Weekend Australian newspaper for the past seventeen years.{{Fact|date=December 2006}}

Please don't replace this information in the article without a citation,--BirgitteSB 15:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be safe to say: "He is currently sf genre reviewer for The Weekend Australian newspaper." Which is hardly contentious. --Perry Middlemiss (talk) 04:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was tagged as part of this massive edit. But I think it the time frame was all the was contentious they would have just re-worked it as you suggested rather than putting a {{fact}} tag there. After all they re-worked a great deal of the article in that edit. It would be best if you could simply cite a source for this information. I really don't know what is contentious only that a source was requested a year and a half ago.--BirgitteSB 21:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
