Wonderful Insect[edit]

Does anyone have any information on the 1998 short story he is listed as writing called Wonderful Insect? From my research so far I've found little to no information of this story's existence apart from it being listed on this wiki-page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaskedMosquito (talk • contribs) 21:45, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date[edit]

Has anyone noticed this article doesn't list a birth date? I'm trying to find it on the web but I haven't found it so far. :/ eveningscribe 03:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: Okay, I've found ONE link that says he was born in December, 1967, and it doesn't give a day. :p But is it good enough to use as a reference? http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/childrenandteens/story/0,,1471235,00.html eveningscribe 03:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

a recent edit references "Parmiters School Records" for March 1958. This is plausable but not easily verifiable. While looking for confirmation, I found that imdb lists 29 December 1964. Thats 3 references with 3 different dates.Lateg (talk) 16:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures of Artworks[edit]

I have some pictures that I'm currently trying to get clearance on. Flutters123 (talk) 14:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone got any pics of Ridley's artworks that can be used on the page. This would really be of interest, I think. Especially the ones that are specifically named like Corvus Cum.

Encyclopedia[edit]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

We do not "select" quotes from the subject of the article based on the quotes being ones we like. We do not publish a list of quotes lauding the subject as the creator of all that is good and right in the world. We do not publish an exhaustive list of every trivial award the subject wins or is nominated for. We do not publish a list of awards people other than the subject were nominated for.

We might quote the subject's reply to accusations a reliable source has made, if a reliable source sees fit to publish them. We publish a list of notable awards that reliable sources credit to the subject.

I've started the clean up. I'll be back to finish it. Comments? - SummerPhD (talk) 13:52, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year[edit]

Can we determine a birth year for Ridley? The opening sentence in his article claims he was born in 1957, the infobox says 1951, and according to one of the categories, he was born in 1964. ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 01:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed any mentions of a birth year from the article for the time being, just so the article doesn't contradict itself multiple times. ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 01:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
