Direction of the article
Eventually, the list of works probably should move to a bibliography or catalog subpage. The main article should address a general view of Lieber's personality, personal history and style. Comparisons with contemporaries, as well as those he influenced, are relevant, as is responsible criticism. You might want to look at the structure of Robert A. Heinlein. Howard C.

- I disagree with Howard about this point. I myself have written a number of articles about authors and I feel it is important that readers have access to his works on the immediate page, not in separate bibliographies -- the reader is interested in the guy's books -- why not have them right in front of him? See Donald Hamilton, Richard Condon, Michael Z. Lewin, and Michael Gilbert among others. I haven't paid much attention to the Heinlein article since I didn't originate it. At some point we're going to have to have a *standard* approach to this for *all* articles about authors, and I will *vigorously* defend my own point of view on this.
- In any case, it's nice to see another contributor with an interest in science-fiction! Hayford Peirce 17:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
