Book cover

Should also add the book cover for "Zima Blue and other stories". I found the cover here (http://www.alastairreynolds.com/latest.html) but dont know how to update the wiki.

Century Rain

and add the cover for century rain —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.90.138.13 (talk) 03:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

Cover gallery

I think that big gap on the right under the infobox looks horrible, but when I moved the gallery over the the right to fill that in, it didn't look much better... Thoughts? --Closedmouth 07:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

• I changed the shape of the table to improve it, but it still isn't great. Ideally, I think, we'd have a sub-heading for each book with the cover next to it. Alex Heinz 19:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

timeline

I have created a Timeline of the Revelation Space universe. Please feel free to expand on it with more details. Thanks! TJIC 02:17, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Similar page

Was the text of the pages at http://www.britmandesigns.com/fansite/index.html copied from here or vice versa? --DocumentN (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd say it was copied from here, but you might want to contact the site's author just to be on the safe side. --Closedmouth (talk) 04:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Clarke nomination references

I found all three Clarke award nominations on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arthur_C._Clarke_Award_Nominees but that page has no sources... codepoet 22:15, 26 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codepoet (talk • contribs)

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:56, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for that, @Sunwin1960:. Is using the cite template normal for listing the works of authors? I have not seen this before. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bibliographies#Author_bibliographies for guidelines on creating author bibliographies, including use of citation templates for consistency. They aren't as nicely formatted as I would like, but they function well enough.Sunwin1960 (talk) 03:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Can we change the picture of him?

I don't think it really conveys that he's a moderately successful author very well. It makes him look like a miserable comedian whose set is bombing on the absolute worst day of his life or something. IWantToBeAGoodEditor (talk) 09:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

If you are able to find a better picture that is in the public domain or has a public copyright license, feel free. -- Scjessey (talk) 11:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
