Weasel tag removed

I have removed the weasel tag because, having read the Recurring Motifs section, I have found it quite accurate and reliable. I mean it offers a fair description of what Erickson's novels are like, and it also offers a key to read and understand them. When it comes to a living author who is not very famous like Erickson, it is quite difficult to add footnotes to an article because the secondary bibliography does not exist. I know one should quote essays and articles and monographs written by authoritative critics telling us that Erickson is this and that, but such essays and articles and monographs do not exist yet. I do not doubt that sooner or later Erickson will be discovered by critics--especially academic critics, but this will take time; in the meantime we have to rely on the judgement of those Wikipedia readers and contributors who have read Erickson's fiction, and be a bit less nitpicking. Then, if someone else who's read Erickson's novels will find that something in the Recurring Motifs section is not accurate or is false, he will edit the text where it is needed, instead of calling in doubt the whole section, which is in my opinion unfair and misleading.--93.40.113.153 (talk) 08:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable

Just asking if "if he lives anywhere" at the end of bio section is referenced/based on anything besides atmospheric writing? Thanks, Manytexts (talk) 23:25, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
