I have added biography info from the cited reference; unfortunately, the Italian book has no ISBN code. --Frankesko (talk) 23:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really cannot see what is wrong with the tone of this article; why inappropriate? --Frankesko (talk) 11:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's loose and informal in style; refers to subject as "Richard" or "he" rather than "Meredith"; uses a lot of unsourced information (an author's autobiographical sketch is not very sound sourcing); more terms need wikilinking. Those are the first things that come to mind. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to improve; what's the problem with the use of he? She is used across Ursula K. Le Guin biography. Agree sourcing is poor, ask for help. --Frankesko (talk) 23:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I have a personal complaint and dont know quite how to do anything about this. Although i am glad the italian have this biography writeupin wikipedia .but the fact richarcd has been died so long 1979 some things are said about him or his personal life that is not correct.

I am a reliable source because I was Joy Gates Meredith and spent 16 years with richard till his death ............1979 we were married in 1963...

Little things like if appears Kira was born before one novel then he was married , Richard and i were married 18 months before kira was born. 1965 also. the bio reads that richard

thought

he could write i object to this SF This is menuteor minor point but He did write science fiction before this fact.Well there were otherthings like the accidentaly death of my oldest twin. but we wont go there.

I am the person who listed Richard 's list of books and short stories. and I appreciate you having this bio.

Does anyone have any ideas about this? signed Joy C Meredith 19:54, 25 August —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2008 68.221.193.98 (talk • contribs)

Sorry to see this ony now, Joy; I am the one who edited the original profile and put the sentence: "After the birth of his first daughter, Kira Chimene, from his second marriage with Joy Gates, he thought he could write for the science fiction market.[1]" as stated in the Italian book. I will change simply it to: "his first daughter, Kira Chimene, was born in 1965, from his second marriage with Joy Gates." I beg you and wiki users to advise if I misunderstood and made a wrong correction. Thank you for showing up, I am a great fan of Richard. --Frankesko (talk) 14:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
