Migrating references

[edit]

So i wasnt sure what these references were meant to be adding so i took them out of the article. If they can be reworked into the article for some positive gain that would be great.

Additional Info

[edit]

I don't want to go through and add stuff and fall foul of the wrath of wikipedians, but if anyone feels like making the following corrections it may improve the article:

  • Russell B Farr now lives in Greenwood, Western Australia
  • Antique Futures, co-edited by Farr, won the Convenors Award in the 1999 Aurealis Awards
  • Edited Collections could also include Magic Dirt: the best of Sean Williams; there are other collections edited by Farr.

  • I added Magic Dirt to the collections.
  • Is there a reference to living in Greenwood because everything on wikipedia biographies need to be referenced even is it is a simple fact
  • The official compiled list by the Aurealis people does not credit Farr for the Antique Futures award, only Dowling.

  • The Internet Science Fiction Database lists the five editors of Antique Futures as Jeremy G. Byrne, Bill Congreve, Russell B. Farr, Peter MacNamara and Jonathan Strahan http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?39071
  • I'll look into the Greenwood reference -- while ther are many references for Ticonderoga Publications being based there I couldn't find an immedediate one that also places Farr there.

While i always use ISFDB its a wiki and so doesnt pass as a reliable source unfortunately. Salavat (talk) 12:46, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been updated, with a reference, to state that Russell B. Farr now lives in Greenwood. — Thomas Bull (talk) 23:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
