The Shift
editI've tried to add some information on the plot of "The Shift", but can't remember it well enough to do a good job. Can anyone else help improve this?
Links
editThe book titles shouldn't all be linked through to an external site (even if it is the author's - it introduces POV issues). People can find the site in the links section and it will leave the titles open for people to create entries if they feel it is appropriate. It also adds problems if the site goes down highlighted by the fact that all the links are broken as they are along the lines of: "zenvirus.com:8080/stories/consenting.html" remove the port number (:8080) and they work. For both these reasons I'd remove the lot but there are so many I really don't have the time. If someone feels enthusiastic they can set about removing them or I'll return to it later.

Hugh's site is broken
editThe second external link is broken: http://hughcook.kiwi.nz/ and I think we should delete it. Harmony-queue (talk) 08:07, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
If I source a photo of Hugh can someone review it pls
editHi I'll try and find a formal photo of Hugh and upload it. It will be my second ever wiki edit so I'd appreciate someone reviewing my choice. Thanks. Harmony-queue (talk) 08:09, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for improving this page.
- Are you in contact with the copyright holder? Can they license it? If not, I'm not sure what to do. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 12:29, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
- Yes I know him and he game me permission to use the image I've sourced, unfortunately I am new to wikipedia and don't now how to attribute the photo correctly.
- Source: http://dan.rabarts.com/non-fiction/hugh-cook-the-wordsmith-and-the-warrior/
- I confirmed with Dan that this image can be used for Hugh's wikipedia Harmony-queue (talk) 20:30, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- I have an unfortunate update, it looks like the image I'm looking to use won't be suitable since Dan Rabarts isn't confident that the original permission from Mr Cook's family to use the image in the blog post is sufficient to cover the legal wording in the Creative Commons licence.
- Due to this I'll remove the image.
- Bit unfortunate to have gone through this hassle. Harmony-queue (talk) 04:45, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
- That's unfortunate, but really the only possible course of action under the circumstances. It's very decent of Mr Rabarts, whom I respect for doing well by Cook. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 14:34, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
