Talk:Ben Mezrich

Untitled

I've raised this issue before and am still wondering: why are authors and other people in the arts identified by their nationality, even when it is otherwise irrelevant to their work? This is done inconsistently. --Mantanmoreland 15:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

But it is relevant information to understanding who they are. This is biography after all. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned up this article including some broken wikilinks and sourced what I was able. Someone who is more familiar with his work may be able to track down some additional information. Travellingcari (talk) 20:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clean up. This article can expect some readers within the next few weeks; especially with the release of the film, 21-- the adaptation of his work, Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions . --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 03:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Rigged - Fic vs Non-fic

WorldCat lists this book as non-fiction, so based on that I am moving it from the Fiction list to the non-fic list in this article. However, I will leave the phrase "largely fictional account" intact. KConWiki (talk) 04:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
