NPOV

Thx for writing, and it's fun, but it's not encyclopedia NPOV. "alyosha" 06:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

It's probably better now than it was in December 2005, but it could still use some revision for more encyclopedic style. And probably the biography should come before the bibliography, as seems to be more standard. --Jim Henry 14:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Youngest child's name?

The about the author bio on Orphans of Chaos gives the youngest child's name as "Juss" (which made me suppose he was named for the main hero of The Worm Ouroboros). Can someone verify whether this is a typo and the correct name is "Just"? And the phrasing,

whom he calls Orville, Wilbur, and Just Wright.

seems a little odd -- does it mean these are nicknames rather than real or legal names? --Jim Henry 14:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The author bio on the author's homepage, and his wife's homepage, and their Livejournals, all concur that the child is called Juss.

The Linked article on JCW being libertarian specifies the third child is named Justinian. --148.87.1.170 (talk) 18:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

St John's

"(going from the third oldest to the second oldest school in continuous use in the United States)" You mean St John's right? since it wasn't mentioned. This article needs a rewrite. --Geedubber 03:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Section on views against homosexuality

I am not conversant enough with the specifics on BLP rules to make the call on this one, but writing a summary of his controversial views based on primary sources comes up close against Misplaced Pages policies against original research, on primary vs. secondary sources, and BLP sources in general. A reliable, secondary source for what is said here would clearly be preferable, whether or not the current paragraph is appropriate. --Joe Decker (talk) 17:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
