There seems to be some formatting problem in chapter 1.4. There is a strange frame around the novel "Thief of Llarn". I guess someone made a mistake, when he deleted an image. I don't know how to correct it. Perhaps someone can help. --Raglad (talk) 20:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The frame occurs when there's a trailing space. :o) Simples as that - it can be removed by deleting the space.

What happened was that someone decided to put in some example titles of books written by Mr Fox, but didn't integrate them. I've tried to do that, now. ntnon (talk) 01:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section on Kothar needs serious cleanup - it's at least 90% original research and personal opinion, with very little encyclopedic material Euchrid (talk) 06:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On second glance, most of it is actually copyrighted material, lifted from the introduction to one of the books. I'm removing it immediately in compliance with Wikipedia policy.Euchrid (talk) 03:15, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't right now, and it would be perhaps frustrating considering the circumstances (ex: a thousand bloody pen names), but if Fox really is Rod Gray we probably need to clean up the article regarding the Lady From L.U.S.T. work. It definitely doesn't belong in section 3.3, for example, and isn't cited anywhere in section 6. Kell (talk) 20:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to the novel "Escape Across the Cosmos" aka "Titans of the Universe" I think, but am not sure, it was reissued again as "Star Chase" with yet another pen name (Brian James Royal).

The article includes two lines:

• Comic book historians estimate that he wrote more than 4,000 comics stories, including 1,500 for DC Comics.
• During the course of his career, Fox can be definitely credited with about 1500 stories for DC Comics

The first suggests that 1,500 is an accurate-ish estimate, whereas the second isn't only claiming what he was "definitely credited with." I believe the first needs an "at least 1,500" in it introduction is probably needed to get them to match. How exhaustive is the source used ("Mike's Amazing World of Comics") because from it Fox only wrote 113 comics for other companies, which isn't the 2,500 suggested in the intro.

While it's worth knowing how high his numbers are, a source that only has a very low estimate may not be very helpful. If he really did, say, 3,000 stories at DC, saying "definitely credited with 1,500" doesn't seem fair to him. Duggy 1138 (talk) 05:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
