So is he a librarian or a library clerk? there's a big difference!

I asked him. He's a library clerk who often functions as a librarian! -Erolos 01:57, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
He's Conan the Librarian! Wavy G 17:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a case of blatant (self-?)promotion to me. Pseudo Intellectual (talk) 10:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed this link, I couldn't see any justification for it except that both people have written for Dungeons & Dragons. Robofish (talk) 12:42, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense - it's a bit of a stretch. 108.69.80.43 (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editing[edit]

I did a copy edit and will remove the tag. However, there are still some details in the last five paragraphs that might be superfluous. This is my first edit, so feel free to give me feedback. Weilian1982 (talk) 18:04, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I finished editing. Some of the infomation in the last paragraph of each of the two last sections (Partnership with TSR and Other Activities) might need to be removed, as it deals too narrowly with Ed's opinions about his own works... might seem too self-promotional.

Bibliographic help...[edit]

Hello Wikipedia,

I am Ed Greenwood, author and creator of Forgotten Realms (r). First I would like to thank the Community for creating a page on me and let you all know how much I appreciate being a part of this incredible encyclopedia project.

Understanding how Wikipedia works and not wanting to give even a suggestion of impropriety, I'd like to ask for help with filling in the rest of my bibliography. I'm not looking to add anything that might be considered opinion; just facts. Some of my books have a secondary page that contains a plot description, cover art and publication information; some books do not.

If anyone would like to help me update my bibliography with the missing book jackets, plot descriptions and publication information please do be in touch.

I look forward to working with the Wiki Community and to seeing a complete (facts only) bibliographic record of my works up on your pages. I thank you in advance for your help.

Best, Ed Ed Greenwood www.TheEdVerse.com Ed@TheEdVerse.com

36.37.140.35 (talk) 08:14, 11 January 2014 (UTC) Can you please mention the article link where you want to update your data ? Nechlison (talk) 11:28, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nechlison, thank you for the help again. I have placed my request for help here, as per your suggestion. I am unclear as to what you are now asking. Wikipedia has a list of my books. Some are complete listings, some are not. Some books are missing. All I would like to do is to update my bibliography so that it is as complete as possible. If someone in the Wikipedia community would like to help me; that would be great. Cheers. Ed Ed Greenwood www.TheEdVerse.com Ed@TheEdVerse.com Ed Greenwood (talk) 07:14, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed, Nechlison appears to have responded hastily, not noticing that you were asking your question at the article you wished to have edited. Firstly, thank you very much for having integrity and being aware of your conflict of interest! Wikipedia does not forbid people from editing articles about them, but we do highly discourage it, because people have a tendency to get really weird when they write about themselves. If we're talking about straight-up facts, like a list of published (and reference-able) books you wrote, I don't think you'd run into too much trouble. However, if you are uncomfortable with monkeying with the article, I get that. Here's an alternative: Create a new section on this talk page and use the {{edit request}} template to get the ball going. Example:
{{edit request}}
Hi, could someone please add Book Title (2005) to the Anthology Novellas section and Book Title (2008) to Non-Forgotten Realms?
You can add a bunch of stuff at once if you want. Also, providing references is helpful so that we can confirm the existence of the books. Hope that helps! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:49, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
