: May I suggest you put more effort into making your writing more interesting? Puzzle-making pyrotechnics might be enough to send the critics into palpitations, but you let the puzzlery get the characters and narrative by the tail, where it wags them to death. And, as for your article... get used to it. Wikipedia is a work of fiction. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/208.127.3.249|208.127.3.249]] ([[User talk:208.127.3.249|talk]]) 16:47, 15 August 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

::Wow, looks like someone's angry he wasn't smart enough to figure out the "puzzle-making pyrotechnics." I didn't know Wikipedia talk pages were the place to insult a writer. Oh, wait, I forgot Wikipedia is the place for a lot of useless BS.

Deficient article
I'm the subject of this article, which I did not originate. As per the community guidelines for Autobiography, I'm suggesting some revisions to make the article more complete, more accurate and more interesting, if anyone wishes to take the trouble.
- I never attended Trinity College. It's true that I don't have a degree; the last school at which I matriculated, however, was New York University. Reference: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/22/books/it-started-with-a-vision-of-tolstoy-s-death-then-segued-into-a-first-novel.html?gwh=1245049D7B4BAD52B1D7CAF68CF3985D
- My first collection of stories, Thirst, is comprised of short stories that I published in literary magazines, including the Village Voice Literary Supplement, the North American Review, and the University of Arizona's Sonora Review, when David Foster Wallace was its fiction editor. References: already cited Salon piece; also, about the Sonora Review: http://www.sideshowmediagroup.com/?p=88
- From 1994 to 1998 I lived in Moscow, where my wife Inga Saffron was the Philadelphia Inquirer's correspondent. (reference: Times article)
- My story "Pu-239" was adapted for film by Scott Z. Burns and starred Paddy Considine, Radha Mitchell and Oscar Isaac. (Reference: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472156/?ref_=sr_1)
- My new novel, Equilateral, is being published in April 2013. It's set in Egypt at the end of the 19th century; its theme is the search for extraterrestrial life. (Reference: http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/equilateral-9781620400067/)
- My wife is now the Philadelphia Inquirer's architecture critic. (Times article)
