Biographical source[edit]

Vonda McIntyre is listed as a Seattle writer in the PI's Northwest Science Fiction list [1]. So I added appropriate category tags. Brianhe 04:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Biography assessment rating comment[edit]

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article.-- Jreferee 22:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for guidelines re: redirection of this topic[edit]

I would like to redirect this page, as the author discussed here says her actual byline is "Vonda N. McIntyre," not "Vonda McIntyre." She recently brought this matter up on a discussion topic she participates in: [2]. Just as "Octavia Butler" redirects to "Octavia E. Butler," so should "Vonda McIntyre" redirect to "Vonda N. McIntyre." This makes sense to me, in the context of a reference work.

However, it was earlier set up that "Vonda N. McIntyre" redirects to "Vonda McIntyre." From reading the Help file on redirection, [3], it looks to me as though there is not an easy way to redirect once things have been set up in the wrong direction.

I am a very casual participant in Wikipedia. Could someone who understands the issues please let me know whether doing this makes sense, and if so, direct me to instructions for accomplishing it?

Kmcveety Peer Review - QuintinK[edit]

These are in order through the article.

1.) Consider changing "Vonda Neel McIntyre (born Louisville, Kentucky, on August 28, 1948) is an American science fiction author." to "a Pacific Northwest science fiction author."

2.) Consider changing "Den Haag, Netherlands" to "The Hague, Netherlands"

3.) Specify that she earned a BS from UW in the next line.

4.) Link to Susan Janice Anderson's page, if she has one.

5.) I prefer "invented" to "came up with" in regards to Hikaru.

6.) Instead of "Recurring Story Elements", "Recurring Themes" is a more technical section title.

7.) The first sentence of the section is also poorly worded.

8.) The rest of it, including her works, look good.

Great work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuintinK (talk • contribs) 01:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Old page history[edit]

Some old page istory that used to be at the title "Vonda N. McIntyre" can now be found at Talk:Vonda N. McIntyre/Old history. Graham87 11:39, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About the title of the article[edit]

The following sources cite the author's name as Vonda N. McIntyre, not Vonda McIntyre:

Official web page: http://www.vondanmcintyre.com/ (Also note the "n" in the domain)
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction: http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/mcintyre_vonda_n
ISFDB: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Vonda_N._McIntyre
Memory Alpha: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vonda_N._McIntyre
And many more.

So @Marinna: Why do you rename it? As far as I see it, there is no proof to support that change. --JavierCantero (talk) 16:03, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Parents[edit]

According to the Guardian obituary [[4]], she was the daughter of Vonda (nee Keith) and Harrell Neel McIntyre, which makes much more sense than the current phrasing in this article. Professionally, she was always known as Vonda N. McIntyre, so I would support keeping the initial in the article title (as is the case with Ursula K. Le Guin -- 2003:E5:1727:D3C1:2C8D:AC02:F0C:863 (talk) 07:04, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vonda McIntyre → Vonda N. McIntyre – The name was changed without discussion or consensus. Vonda N. McIntyre is the name used by the most reliable sources, such as the author's official web page [5] (Also note the "n" in the domain name), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction [6], ISFDB [7], Memory Alpha [8], Fantastic Fiction [9], Locus Magazine [10] [11], Tor.com [12], The New York Times [13], The Guardian [14] and many more.

Edit request[edit]

I just added to the article, including a reference to a book by Peter David ISBN 9781476683546 titled Mr. Sulu Grabbed My A**, and Other Highlights from a Life in Comics, Novels, Television, Films and Video Games... except that the title does not say "A**", it says the word with * = s. As an IP editor, I can't correct this because of an edit filter. Would someone please correct the name in the article? A similar edit is needed to The Entropy Effect following this edit. I have also made a request at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports#172.195.96.244. 172.195.96.244 (talk) 23:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
