Neutrality

In the interest of full disclosure: I know Michael Stout personally, and am an active follower of his blog. However, I created this article because he is a notable game designer, and tried to maintain a strictly neutral viewpoint. My statement about his critical praise is purely present to establish notability, and the references are there to demonstrate the verifiability of my claims.

As someone who reads his blog and follows his career, I am more knowledgeable about him as a subject than someone more personally removed might be. However, my neutrality is obviously questionable, so I would appreciate it if someone more experienced and removed from the subject could review it. If nothing else, I stand to learn about the Wikipedia process. DaWarMage 21:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On Going Work

I'm going to see if I can get this up to a "Start" rating, so I've expanded a bit. The section on uselessopinions.com is a bit rough, but it seemed relevant. I also found the link for an interview I heard him give, so I included that.

My next goal is to get a picture of him that I can add to the Infobox. Everything I've found so far is either terrible or has copyright problems (or both). DaWarMage 21:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
