Heinlein

I wanted to point your attention to Robert Heinlein, which is undergoing featured article reassessment, and is likely to lose its featured status unless a lot more sources are found. I thought you might have access to some sources, after the science fiction talk page discussion. Any improvment would be welcome - personally i think it will be delisted, but improvments made now would make passing a later Good article nomination easier. I'm not a big fan of his, so only have general SF sources discussing him.Yobmod (talk) 09:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you speaking of the 'flags' on the section Ideas, themes, and influence? Well his own writings are cited and he him self would be a good enough reference! That was his problem starting with Star Ship Troopers (well goes back before that) and Troopers does not have the soap boxing he got carried away with after 1960, which ruined all his later work. I do notice that Brian Aldiss's history of SF Billion (Trillion) Year Spree which has a good deal about Heinlein is not referenced on the main page.

I have to say that even if the page were demoted from being a featured article it is still an excellent article about him.

One thing I think you could ask 10,000 SF fans if Heinlein wrote some 'hard SF' and they would say yes. --aajacksoniv (talk) 22:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

That's ok. I should put something descriptive there. I used work for Don. I did put the link to his site on the Space Debris page.--aajacksoniv (talk) 23:55, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Say?

Hello. If you'd like people to email you, go to "my preferences" at the very top of the Wikipedia screen and enter your email. It will not be visible to others but they can then click at "email this user" (ie you) in the toolbox at the left margin of your user site. De728631 (talk) 00:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok , I did that , for me, but how do I , say, email you! I don't see a "email this user" for you. --aajacksoniv 02:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 12:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

But both entries are signed by me! --aajacksoniv 16:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Signature

Yes, you are signing your comments, but SineBot is marking it as unsigned because it doesn't link to your user page and talk page. First, make sure you are typing ~~~~ at the end of each of your comments. If you are, go to [[Special:Preferences|"my preferences"] and edit your signature so it links to your user page and talk page (you can just blank your signature and make sure the box under your signature is unchecked, because that way, it will have a link to your user page and talk page, but you still have to sign each of your comments). Hopefully this helps! --Hadger 00:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
