  • curprev 22:4122:41, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 25,752 bytes +672‎ Adding Poole's fine Guardian piece to Further reading, and at least 2-3 place where it can appear in the article as inline citations. More to follow (so it also stays in Further reading). undo
  • curprev 22:0622:06, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 25,080 bytes +599‎ Completer moving material unique to the lead, and then editing the lead to summarise that content. Task is now essentially done. Article tag about lead removed. undo
  • curprev 22:0222:02, 8 August 2024‎ Arjayay talk contribs‎ m 24,481 bytes −3‎ Duplicate word reworded undo
  • curprev 21:3421:34, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 24,484 bytes 0‎ →‎Further reading: Corrected the further reading timestamp to include the whole of the afterward, not just the quotation regarding Gibson's roles in coining cyberpunk (didn't) and cyberspace (did). undo
  • curprev 21:3121:31, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 24,484 bytes +10‎ →‎Further reading: Copy edit. Changed presentation to make understandable. undo
  • curprev 21:2821:28, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 24,474 bytes +39‎ Made date formats uniform using the {{use mdy... markup. Copyedit. Corrected a misspelling. undo
  • curprev 21:2621:26, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 24,435 bytes +1,509‎ Copy edit. Removed extraneous material following Further reading. Then, began to reproduce material only appearing in the lead, into the main body, so that the lead, per WP:INTRO, properly summarises the article. (Much of the first two paragraphs of the lead is now done.) undo Tag: nowiki added
  • curprev 20:3620:36, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 22,926 bytes +112‎ Corrected citation details, in Further reading and in lead, regarding the source of the Womack information. undo
  • curprev 20:2120:21, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 22,814 bytes +1,362‎ Correcting the unsourced closing sentence of the lead, with information from two cited sources. undo
  • curprev 20:0320:03, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 21,452 bytes +1,075‎ →‎Further reading: Added a source for the Womack persective on Gibson, from the Count Zero afterward. undo
  • curprev 19:4219:42, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 20,377 bytes +712‎ Applied the Kirkus review, using its summary of the book in the lead. Removed the long quote from appearing in Further reading, because it now appears as an inline citation. But, leaving the Kirkus source in Further reading, because it is not yet fully tapped out as a source for the article. undo
  • curprev 19:2019:20, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 19,665 bytes +973‎ →‎Further reading: Adding the Kirkus review to further reading. undo
  • curprev 19:0719:07, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 18,692 bytes +11‎ Copy edit, Made text in orig-date field clearer. undo
  • curprev 19:0419:04, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 18,681 bytes +436‎ Created a further reading section, to begin placing sources that allow encyclopedic development of the article. undo
  • curprev 18:5818:58, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 18,245 bytes +1,778‎ Completed-checked-applied the Gibson-Langford source. (Only covers small part of need for lead citations.) Note, in response to the comment made that an extensively wikilinked section, such as this lead, does not need further citations—this violates WP:VERIFY, which explicitly states wikilinks do NOT replace sources. (Besides, it is a conjurers slight of hand to say, in scholarly contexts, "Don't look here, what you want is somewhere else" (esp. when it often is not there, either). undo
  • curprev 18:1618:16, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 16,467 bytes +48‎ →‎References: Noting that citations are not uniform in style, a problem to which we will turn attention. undo
  • curprev 18:0818:08, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 16,419 bytes +105‎ Resolved duplicate appearing plot §'s (combining, creating subsections). Note, given long, prosaic Characters subsection, its disinterest in presenting secondary source descriptions of characters, it's WP:OR is best assoicated with the plot summaries. (Character-subsection sentences such as "Bobby realizes his target must... know where he lives, so he flees." and "[Turner] meets and becomes sexually involved with a woman named Allison" [Etc., etc., etc.] are further summations of the plot!) undo
  • curprev 17:5317:53, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 16,314 bytes +449‎ →‎Plot introduction: Concluding edit, 1 of 2. Separated the subsection on the title meaning, which must be source-derived, from the extensive plot material. Rewrote that section, demoting two unsourced, seemingly irrelevant comments to footnotes. Per WP:VERIFY, called for better sourcing of this purported non-sky-is-blue factual content. undo
  • curprev 17:3017:30, 8 August 2024‎ 73.72.207.246 talk‎ 15,865 bytes +422‎ Came looking for WP:VER pub history (zip). Article is self-pub'd fanzine content bookended by brief, WP:VER-failing Lead and Reception §'s—it's not encyclopedic. Full 90% of article—§Plot, plus the novel, overlong plot-writing extensions, §Plot introduction and §Characters—are ALL Plot-type WP:OR composition (~10600 / 11600 characters). Then, most non-plot "facts" are unsourced, incl. a lead with unique "facts" instead of summary. Bold edit from IP would be reverted. Registered ed's, pls attend! undo
