Songwriting and music[edit]

In the section Songwriting and music are we sure that this is the same Jerome Clark? IRWolfie- (talk) 19:08, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

His Contemporary Authors profile does mention an interest in songwriting. I'm in the middle of something else right now, but I'll take a look soon. Zagalejo^^^ 19:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt his song credits, as they are sourced to allmusic.com. FYI: our article on Contemporary Authors Online notes that "authors can submit information about themselves" to the web listings. Fine to use it as a source for his birthdate, but I'd steer clear of sourcing Clark's "accomplishments" to it. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
