editManticore55 05:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)I'd like to say this as politely as possible, so I'll just try to ask....exactly how knowledgeable is the person who flagged this person aware of the RPG industry as a whole? To put this in context, Bill Bridges is perhaps the third or fourth most known name from the second most known company in the entire industry. There is not a major bookstore (Barnes and Noble, Borders, Waldenbooks etc) in the United States in which you cannot walk in, and find one of the books for which he is a line editor. Werewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension, and Promethean the Created (all of which he wrote a considerable amount of content for in addition to serving as line editor for) have all in told been in print and circulation since the creation of Werewolf the Apocalypse over 20 years ago. It has sold hundreds of thousands, if not millions of copies.

editIf the test here is 'notoriety' please perform google searches on the things that he has created and acts as stuart for, which have a significant amount of hits. I will attempt to find sales figures and other sources to back these claims up, but honestly...walk into any book store, and there his work is. We're not exactly talking small time here.

Restructuring of entry
editI just added an infobox and restructured the gigantic career block into early, 1995-2000, and 2000-present. If anyone thinks of better classifications to break up the career section, go ahead. The entry could probably use some sections with lists of games and books he's released, as well as maybe his awards. Hopefully I did well. -- Catnip Chaos (talk) 18:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
