I am at present the oldest working editor, as far as I know. I would like to suggest that at least a significant portion, if not a majority, of the best living editors are not at present employed. I don't think that ought to exclude them, from Fred Pohl to Pat LoBrut to John Douglas, from being included, especially if they are doing freelance editing.. Tor has fifteen or eighteen editors who contribute but are not employed.

DGH

I have no problem with adding editors who are no longer active, even (note: there's a Category for Deceased), I'm just not making promises to visitors that we *will* since I figured most posters' priorities would be otherwise. As for employed Vs. Freelance, I wholeheartedly agree that any editor should be listed, regardless of employment status. I suppose I could make that more clear in the template. We have a number of freelance and consulting editors listed already. --AKGM

[edit] Make room for execs?

Given that Tom Doherty has never been an editor, he can't really be added in this structure. But he certainly belongs in the picture. Perhaps I could add him to the cat "Senior publishing exectives" but not "Editors"?--Kathryn Cramer 19:40, 27 February 2008 (EST)

yeah, that sounds good to me. The first time I typed "Tom Doherty Associates" I thought about the question of where to put him, but it'd slipped my mind since then. --Netmouse 12:48, 28 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Spam

The wiki has been hit by spammers (see the Recent changes page). I'm new around here, and reluctant to delete anything without permission, but can I suggest a policy on spam cleanup is necessary? (Give me the nod and I'll go to work with fire and the sword.) -- Cstross, 7/7/08
