Pulitzer Prize

[edit]

I would argue that in common usage, the term "nominated for Pulitzer prize" means that the work was finalist, since no other list is published or tracked. This site, http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/General+Nonfiction lists all finalists for the non-fiction Pulitzer prize; note that neither work is listed. Therefore I would suggest removing the phrase as being misleading.

I've added the Pulitzer nominations again. While what my colleague has said regarding said nominations, the fact remains that the works mentioned were indeed nominated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.120.79.173 (talk) 15:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the Pulitzer nominations since absolutely anybody (including the author himself) may nominate a work for a Pulitzer Prize.

Image deletion?

[edit]

hello, i am writing to inquire if someone from this profile had deleted the photo from the William Poundstone wikipedia entry. I had requested an received express permission from the author himself to use the photo of him on his wikipedia. What more authorization or documentation might I need to leave it posted on that page? --Frenkmelk talk 22:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to bibliography?

[edit]

A version of the original Big Secrets: . . . (1983) was published as a paperback in the UK as "Big Secrets by William Poundstone . . . British adaptation by Caroline Taylor", Corgi Books 1985 (reprinted 1986), ISBN 0-552-12678-0. Is this sufficiently notable as to be included in the bibliography? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.197.66.144 (talk) 12:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
