Untitled[edit]

Hey there. I'm editing this down a bit at a time to make it more neutral, less peacock and less like an advertisement.

Mr. Steepling is indeed a figure of note in the theatre, film and publishing industries. He has over 30 years of professional experience in stage, film, and TV and has worked side-by-side with many notable persons that have pages here.

Steppling is the recipient of a Rockefeller Fellowship, two NEA grants, a MacDowell Colony Residency, a PEN-West award for playwriting (Teenage Wedding), and numerous LA Weekly and Drama-Logue awards as well as being nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Among his screenwriting credits are the adaptation (with Edward Bunker) of Bunker’s novel, Animal Factory, directed by Steve Buscemi and starring Willem Dafoe, and the screenplay for 52-Pick Up directed by John Frankenheimer. His short fiction has appeared in Greensboro Review, Georgetown Review, and North Dakota Quarterly.

If you look in the references section you can see how much he has written and produced.

Just need a little bit of time to clean it up some more.

Of course, not trying to get you to write it for me but if you have any bits of advice would be greatly appreciated and yes, I am reading all of the FAQs and HOW-TOs. In other words, if you see something specific that should be deleted couldn't you just delete that bit rather than the whole article?

Are we meeting wikipedia standards of neutrality and formating yet?[edit]

As you can see in the history section I have been hard at work on this over the last few days. I have removed the warning banners from the page itself. If they reappear, I will continue to work on this until it meets wikipedia standards. Any helpful hints or advice would be appreciated. Please, bear with me and thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StoicCriminal (talk • contribs) 23:06, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know who changed this, but there are inaccuacies. I was not a convict, I was simply arrested a few times and sentenced and had that suspended. Also i removed my name from the josh evans script and had nothing to do with that film in the end. Please remove this mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.232.164.152 (talk) 12:53, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
