Cover art

Would it be useful to people if we had a list of books that he did the cover art for? I think he's done everything by Melanie Rawn, and some of Anne McCaffrey, but I'm not sure on that. --zandperl 02:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

added link to the ISFD, which is a start. problem is, its such a long list. it will have to be its own article, but i believe he is a notable enough artist to consider doing this for him.(mercurywoodrose)66.80.6.163 (talk) 16:53, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion on the separate List. I do believe the lead section of this article will benefit from trimming the prose list, in deference to a section of this article or a separate List. Although it is far from complete the prose list is too long for the lead.

Michael Whelan painted cover art for the American editions of seven Pern books and Anne McCaffrey's short story collection The Girl Who Heard Dragons, in which only the title story is set on Pern. —Michael Whelan.

Rewrite

I have revised this at dozens of points but not so thoroughly as suggested by "Compare selected revisions", which is overloaded by changes in the number and order of paragraphs.

The prose must benefit from a reading by anyone but me, with attention to how it flows. Don't overlook the use of "Whelan", "Michael", he and him. I am too close to it now.

Anyone who works further on references should begin with his official biography which must cover many points. --P64 (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Commemorative block?

"Michael Whelan commemorative block in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame" under a picture. Why is that? The man is still alive. How can you be commemorative when he's a living person?--87.184.137.68 (talk) 15:24, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
