Worldwrights[edit]

BPL is one of the leaders of Pittsburgh's oldest science-fiction and fantasy writers workshops, Pittsburgh Worldwrights. Worldwrights was founded by Mary Soon Lee and was based out of Carnegie-Mellon University.

Barton may be considered a Pittsburgh genre writer. He mixes in his new liberal-christian philosophy in many of his writings. He became popular in recent years because his writing style is so peculiar-he manages remarkable complexity of thought while using very few words. Botendaddy (talk) 02:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

Concur that many of the citations formats are weak. Bald urls are not good form. I am going to have to look through every article I've done on Wikipidea and clean them up. It will take a while, but I'll get on it. I am the Botendaddy 02:29, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[[1]] Pittsburgh WorldWrights web site.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just made my first stab at cleaning up the bare url citations. I will figure out the template and get these cleaned up before the end of the year. Any help would be humbly appreciated. I am the Botendaddy 00:34, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific Articles[edit]

The article on Miskolczki is unpublished. Whoever included it should show that it is heavily cited or some evidence that is has at least been submitted to a peer-reviewed publication. Otherwise, it takes away from the strength of the section. Botendaddy 23:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC) Botendaddy 23:26, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

There have been repeated incidents of vandalism and pejorative statements on this page. It should be locked down from further edits. Botendaddy 23:46, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to return the page to its original wording after the vandalism so I will display a few recent edits in history. Botendaddy 03:50, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
