JW Campbell quotation edit
I've just removed the John W. Campbell quotation from the "Reception" section. As the cited book source states rather clearly[1], the quotation comes from Campbell's "In Times to Come" column in Astounding Stories. Not to put to fine a point on it, but "In Times to Come," as the title suggests, was a regular feature in Astounding where Campbell, the magazine's editor, promoted the stories he was going to publish in the next issue. In short, it was advertising copy, and simply not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedic section discussing independent reviews of the work. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- No worries, fwiw I think that source may have been initially suggested by another user. -- Cirt (talk) 18:45, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
