ET novels

[edit]

The article misrepresents the novelizations he wrote, linking to the movie and miscrediting a co-author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.60.136 (talk) 13:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Year of birth

[edit]

I seem to find equal numbers of references to Kotzwinkle's DOB citing 1938 and 1943 (though always November 22, in Scranton, PA, when a day and/or place are provided). Does anyone have an authoritative, verifiable source for his year of birth, one way or the other?ShelfSkewed 21:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Billy was part of our crowd...Frank Johns, Bob Kranick, etc the date would be 1938. We were friend in Scranton for many years. Diane Dillmann Thompson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.202.7 (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add refence to the movie based on his autobiographical novel?

[edit]

Should we add refence to the movie based on his autobiographical novel Jack in the Box (eventually re-titled Book of Love)? Maybe a paragraph about Book of Love (1990 film). He wrote the novel it was based on and he wrote the screenplay. Antmusic 18:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB as a source

[edit]

Nowhere in this section: WP:Citing_IMDb does it say that IMDB is categorically unreliable. I *does* point out several types of IMDB content that is unreliable, but birthdates are not one of them. =//= Johnny Squeaky 06:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spanglej was correct to revert you, especially as both birthdates have reliable sources. WP:Citing IMDb mentions several types of IMDB content that are reliable, but birthdates are not among them. - Fantr (talk) 00:32, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
