I don't get it
[edit]What makes the page an "advertisement". I'd imagnine that the person who responsible for the header could at least explain it here. Axamoto 22:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Completely agree. I removed the tag. --Chris 21:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

"Cameo of himself" ??
[edit]In the "Novelist" sub-section of the article, there is a one-paragraph summary of "The Night Gardener" which states: "In 2006 he published The Night Gardener, which was a major change of style and which featured a cameo of himself."
I read the book a few years ago, and could have missed or may have forgotten Pelecanos having a "cameo of himself." But a Google search did not uncover any review of the book which references Pelecanos making a cameo (although one review did mention that fictional detective Derek Strange made an easy-to-miss "cameo" appearance).
Frankly, a cameo appearance as himself strikes me as a weird, backslapping gesture that I doubt Pelecanos would make.
What is the textual evidence for the alleged "cameo of himself" in The Night Gardener? Did the Wikipedia author who asserted this confuse a Derek Strange cameo with one by Pelecanos? And even if Pelecanos did make a "cameo of himself," is that sufficiently noteworthy to be worth mentioning? (The main Wikiepedia page for The Night Gardener makes no mention of the alleged Pelecanos "cameo" in the book.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.149.207 (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Bibliography
[edit]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) 02:35, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
