No Factor in Deserving Recognition?

My interest in correcting misstatements is in conflict with the inappropriateness of editing my own entry -- but let me point out that the Eisner Award for Talent Deserving Wider Recognition goes to the individual not the work. While "The Factor" was pretty clearly the work that inspired that nomination, it was I, not "The Factor", who was nominated (and ultimately beaten by Bendis). If someone can verify this information in whatever manner is appropriate and correct it, I'd appreciate it!

Done! Kenllama/(talk) 02:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

my current website

I note that the article is using my old website (gertler.com/nat/) as a reference. That website grew quite outdated; I now have an up-to-date website at Gertler.com which has more current info, credits, and a fuller biography, and thus may make a better source from here on in. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

thanks Nat! Kenirwin/(talk) 13:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

And thanks back atcha! --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:30, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Mighty Murdered Power Ringer?

I noticed on AT4W that Nat wrote said comic as "Nigel Ing." Is this okay to add the Comica on this page LINK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.50.47 (talk) 16:32, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Photo needed

If anyone reading this has a photo, please write something here. A headshot would add to this article. In addition, if an image or drawing would like to be donated to Wikimedia, about a comic strip character or seen, that might help this article too.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Advert

The article reads like an advertisment when you include "Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, USA Today, etc the Chicago Sun-Times". It should read simply as "His 2010 The Peanuts Collection received positive reviews." (with those references) There is only one mention of Nat Gertler on Gnews and it's with him making a comment on a blog. Causeandedit (talk) 13:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest you read WP:ADVERT. This article is written neutrally in tone and the tag simply does not apply. I've removed it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:14, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

- I agree with Shawn in Montreal. If an independent reviewer in a newspaper writes a glowing review, then it is fine for us to say so. When neutral, nonbiased and respected sources such as the Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, and Chicago Sun-Times say they like a book, then it is fine for us to include that information.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:34, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
If you click the "Archives" link on Gnews, you will find dozens of other references to "Nat Gertler". Without going to the Archives, Gnews only gives you the past few weeks. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
This comment makes it abundantly clear that what we have here is more a question of tit-for-tat WP:POINT than any genuine attempt to address real issues. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

One again Shawn you are making false personal assumptions. Of course it's a genuine attempt to fix the real issues. I think even Nat would agree, the article the way it was yesterday was badly written... now it reads a lot better.Causeandedit (talk) 15:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not suggesting that there are no improvements to be made: in fact, I've stated on the Liber article that your citations needed tag should be retained, as you well know. But the comment in the link above cannot be taken seriously, as you well know. And of course none of this helps your Hay article one bit. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Gertner

At some point in the recent edits, someone named "Gertner" was added to the article. You may want to correct that. (And if any of the recent deletions were based on concerns about using my own writing for reference, one may wish to review WP:SELFSOURCE.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC) Oh, and as long as I'm suggesting corrections: in the infobox, "nomination" would properly be plural; I received a second one in 2006, as you can see here. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:35, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
