Influenced[edit]

"Influenced: people around him" I bet we all did influence people around us, but why note Almond did? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slowgaze (talk • contribs) 20:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Click[edit]

You know David Almond did write the book click. He wrote it with nine other authors. Just saying so you all know. --173.178.93.250 (talk) 17:08, 26 February 2011 (UTC)_[reply]

Click is a "See also" here. Is it more important than that? It doesn't belong in the brief {infobox} list of notable works.
(This article doesn't provide any chronological list of selected works, which is unusual among biographies of contemporary children's writers who have won major awards.) --P64 (talk) 21:51, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology Error(s)[edit]

Text says second novel published in 1987 but then first novel is published in 1999. Glimfeather (talk) 11:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Andersen Award sources[edit]

The biography includes four references that pertain wholly or mainly to the Hans Christian Andersen Award (now refs# 1-2, 12-13). Two are official, the Awards homepage and the presentation speech by the jury president.

2010 Award #1-2, 13-14 and 2008 Finalist ref #12 --P64 (talk) 19:05, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These official sources are not cited (and have not been used, i suppose).

On the given dates I discovered the source and wrote the formal reference before deciding not to expand the biography in this respect. --P64 (talk) 01:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
