simple biographical data

To Djcentury, since I'm assuming you actually are Doug Century, would you mind adding some simple bio info (birthdate; clarification of citizenship, etc.) to the article and can you provide a source for any biographical information on you? At the moment there are no bibliographic sources. And I left a brief message for you on your talk page. Thanks. Pinkville 00:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To Pinkville. Hi, yes, it's me. You're Colin? I was born in Calgary in 1964. I am American and Canadian. American citizenship through my father, a Chicago-born petroleum geologist and my mother, a Brooklyn-born education psychologist. As you know, grew up in Chinook Park. Can you add this? I'm not really up to speed on this stuff. And thanks!Djcentury 23:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, it's me. I can add what's relevant. WP biographical articles usually include certain bits of info in roughly the same format, so this article would begin: "Douglas Century (born XX XXX 1964) is a Canadian-American writer...", or in a similar fashion. [By the way, your birthday and month would be good to add as well.] Birthdates, citizenship/country of origin and reason for notability (i.e. occupation, etc.) are usually non-controversial but it's still always good to have a published or otherwise authoritative source... and essential for any other information that is included in the article. For a better idea of how this all works, have a look at some other WP biographies (particularly those that have Featured Article status). Meanwhile, if you're interested, let's continue this discussion on your talk page. Pinkville 01:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 08:04, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
