Oops. I see I have stepped into the middle of an edit war. There appears to be some doubt as to whether 'Tunis was born the son of a Unitarian minister, who died when he was six years old.' is a sensible sentence or not. Presumably the objection is that it can be read as saying that Tunis's father died at the age of six, but it really is obvious that the antecedent of 'he' is the son and not the father.

I added a partial list of John Tunis's novels, divided by sport. Is this the right way to proceed? The list is based on the Titles at online booksellers, and my own knowledge of having read many of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjallen (talk • contribs) 17:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
So -- I rewrote the sentence to avoid the problem. Simple. :) Tlqk56 (talk) 02:53, 2 May 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. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
