Cleanup template

I placed the cleanup template because in that section someone has been putting episode numbers in parentheses, superscripted, in lieu of a properly formatted source citation. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 22:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up the superscript references into episode citations. Would it be appropriate to create citations for the various other mentions of episodic events in this article?Ischloear (talk) 17:26, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not A Fictional Character?

From what I've read, Richard Castle the novelist appears to be a very real person and the Richard Castle from the television show appears to be based on him. Does that mean this article should be rewritten to profile the real Richard Castle? Or should there at least be something to indicate that the character in the show is based on the real-life Richard Castle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.181.50 (talk) 15:01, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On further reading of the Wiki I guess this is all covered, but it seems confusing. It seems to suggest that this bio is of the fictional character when in fact it is of the real person. In any case, it seems a bit vague to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.181.50 (talk) 15:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've read there is no real Richard Castle author. The book Heat Wave mentioned in the show, was released as a promotion. ---- Audiovore (talk) 09:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is the book real?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The book is most definitely real; I'm holding a copy in my hand right now (published by Hyperion, ISBN 978-1-4013-2382-0). It has ABC promotional logos on it but is otherwise played straight down to the picture of Fillion-as-Castle on the dust jacket. References made to the novel on the show, such as the dedication and the infamous sex scene starting on page 105, are correct in the book. Obviously, it's been ghostwritten, but I have no information as to who's responsible. Erbo (talk) 05:50, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually a short search will point to a "hint" in the dustjacket of the book (see note 7 in the article). Further more, some want the publisher to admit that the real author has appeared on Castle and Fillion said the guy appeared (as well as other writers, for example the one whose quote is on the cover, AFAIK). So that one could be the man, but it looks like there are no official/reliable sources to prove that, and in the end everything that is written in that book is fictional, so the "hint" may actually mean nothing. --Elitre (talk) 23:35, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Castle is very much a fictional character and not based on a real-life author though the "official line" from the series creators is that Heat Wave & Naked Heat (and the twitter account @WriteRCastle) are all written by "Richard Castle" the character from the series Goer2u4 (talk) 12:21, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Something to be mentioned...

As seen in "Poof, You're Dead!" ... Gina's last name is apparently "Griffin." --24.193.1.9 (talk) 14:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
