Talk:David Gerrold
I propose consolidating the different images. Right now, we have a general gallery at the bottom, a tribble section, a general gallery in the middle, and some stray images of Gerrold himself. Any objection to me putting all of the tribble and other merchandising images in one section in the middle, then putting the more general images in their own gallery? Then moving one of the smaller Gerrold images to the general gallery? --MPH (talk) 12:03, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Cloud Minders
I'd like to see the Cloud Minder's section quote shortened somehow, plus some fan commentary added, as right now, though quite interesting, isn't particularly fannish. If the section warrants its own page, all the better! --MPH (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
The Martian Child
I'll try to find some fan commentary about his section. --MPH (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2019 (UTC) I'm not finding much in the way of fan connections for this story. Perhaps we can use the section as a footnote for a "straightwashing" section on Fanlore, and remove it from this page? Reasoning being the lack of fannish engagement, and because, not being a bibliographic source, we don't have a section on the page for Gerrold's many other works. --MPH (talk) 12:25, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Article focus
David Gerrold is an accomplished author across many aspects of media and other science fiction, and this focus just on Star Trek does not do him justice. I am also concerned at the heavy emphasis that this article appears to place on highlighting alleged negative behaviours at conventions. I think this article should be expanded to include much more balance, nuance, and detail of his professional life and his interactions for nearly sixty years with fandom GeoffA (talk) 23:26, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
