NPOV

[edit]

I think the article pretty much speaks for itself. Phrases like "publishing phenomenon" and "fondest dream" aren't neutral. This isn't his author page on Scholastic. Fortunately, these are easy things to fix.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.157.39.31 (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to fix those concerns. Any better? Astronaut (talk) 18:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

I think he might have been born under the name of "Michael Gordon Howard", as some book websites list all the "Gone" titles and "BZRK" under that name, like this one: [1]. Is that just an error, or...? 99.239.206.161 (talk) 15:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't these sources all self-published?

[edit]

This article seems harmless and likely can be verified, but also repeatedly violates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_and_questionable_sources_as_sources_on_themselves. First source is subject's website. Second source is self-written biography. Third link not work, but when info is found it is another self-written biography. This third source IS published on a reputable 3rd party website and includes info provided elsewhere in the article, but not the cited information. Fourth source is fine. Fifth source is the biography published on the back page of author's book. As the book is published by a reputable third-party, should be a good source. Sixth source is not a working link.

I don't think any information in the article is untrue, unverifiable, or likely to be challenged. It does seem improperly sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Po-tee-weet (talkcontribs) 01:56, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
