Migrating references[edit]

So i wasnt sure what these references were meant to be adding so i took them out of the article. If they can be reworked into the article for some positive gain that would be great.

Additional Info[edit]

I don't want to go through and add stuff and fall foul of the wrath of wikipedians, but if anyone feels like making the following corrections it may improve the article:

Russell B Farr now lives in Greenwood, Western Australia
Antique Futures, co-edited by Farr, won the Convenors Award in the 1999 Aurealis Awards
Edited Collections could also include Magic Dirt: the best of Sean Williams; there are other collections edited by Farr.

I added Magic Dirt to the collections.
Is there a reference to living in Greenwood because everything on wikipedia biographies need to be referenced even is it is a simple fact
The official compiled list by the Aurealis people does not credit Farr for the Antique Futures award, only Dowling.

The Internet Science Fiction Database lists the five editors of Antique Futures as Jeremy G. Byrne, Bill Congreve, Russell B. Farr, Peter MacNamara and Jonathan Strahan http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?39071
I'll look into the Greenwood reference -- while ther are many references for Ticonderoga Publications being based there I couldn't find an immedediate one that also places Farr there.

While i always use ISFDB its a wiki and so doesnt pass as a reliable source unfortunately. Salavat (talk) 12:46, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been updated, with a reference, to state that Russell B. Farr now lives in Greenwood. — Thomas Bull (talk) 23:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
