Is 2012 correct as the pub date of Planesrunner? The Pyr edition seems to have a 2011 copyright date on it. Geoffrey.landis ( talk) 17:24, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
This article is titled Ian McDonald (British author); his page on Wikiquote is Ian McDonald. As a result, the Wikiquote link does not link to his Wikiquote page. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you. Markjoseph125 ( talk) 23:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
This section of the article reads like original research, or one critic's view of the text. At the very least, we need to extract matters of opinion from matters of fact. This is a big task, and one that I'm not qualified to do, as I've only read the first volume of the "saga". I hope someone takes up the challenge... RomanSpa ( talk) 14:09, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Would anybody be willing to help edit Out on Blue Six (book)? In particular I feel that the article requires more sources?
In particular I'm looking for the tweet in which Ian McDonald claimed that his book was the inspiration for the name of a 90's BBC Radio series.
This seems to be one of McDonald's least well received books, and other than Cory Doctorow, nobody seems to have given it much attention.-- Salimfadhley ( talk) 21:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 ( talk) 05:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
