This looks rather like a promotional piece written by Mr White.

Shame!

Well, you should've seen it before. It's gotten better. Feel free to reword and cleanup. It's a stub now. I only came here b/c I am halfway thru Leonardo right now. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 16:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael White & The Thompson Twins

I have just read White's book "The Fruits of War" and it states that he was a member of The Thompson Twins. The Wikipedia page on him repeats this, although the Wikipekia page on The Thompson Twins makes absolutely no reference to him at all in the many line-up changes to the band. While I have no reason to doubt the story, it appears that his role was extremely limited in terms of the time period of involvement. If so, it seems slightly offsides to me for him to continue to use this as a claim to fame when his writing does that for him in its own right. Perhaps someone can identify the exact time period of his invovlement in the band?87.200.4.3 03:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Promo (still)

Still looks like a promo article to me. Who the h*ck is Michael White?!! Never ever heard of him. A note in Galileo_affair Redondi's_theory seems to indicate that this article is only here to promote an ignorable guy that nobody wish to give a damn to. "Science writer", is that really a merit?? Rursus dixit. (^mbork³!) 20:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bookman award???

The article (and his numerous self-written bios on the internet) claim that his book The Last Sorcerer won the Bookman Award in 1997 or 1998. But I tried to verify that by looking at the actual list of winners of that award, which is here, and he is not listed. I have tagged that sentence as "dubious". --MelanieN (talk) 15:56, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
