Talk:Sam Maleski

Relationship with Arcbeatle
I have no memory of this, but two years ago Scrooge said that there should be no mention of Sam Maleski being cut off from Arcbeatle because of "inappropriate conduct with fellow writers". Scrooge did say, however, "I propose we table this discussion until a week or so from now, by which point the dust should have cleared."

It's now been two years and I don't see any problem with mentioning this statement from Arcbeatle on Maleski's page and on Down the Middle and Hearts of Glass. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  12:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have complicated feelings about the entire issue, to say the least, which I would prefer not to go into. With that said, I'm not in principle against using that particular statement on this page as well. I recommend others voice their opinions, because I'm deeply unsure how I feel about it.

 * I don't think we need mention anything other than what Arcbeatle said in their statement. We already mention on other pages that ties have been cut and I don't see why we shouldn't mention the reason as given by Arcbeatle. We've done far more on James Dreyfus.

 * Dreyfus wasn't explicitly brought up in the discussion that led to me asking Scrooge about this, but Hartnell and Roberts were, see Talk:Christa Mactíre. It was due to this discussion that I asked Scrooge about Maleski at User talk:Scrooge MacDuck/Archive 3. The rest of the relevant discussion is at User talk:Najawin/Archive 3 and User talk:Jack & for those reading this discussion. There are some differences, and I fully admit that the dust may have settled enough for us to mention this, especially with the statement being what it is. But it's not 1-1.

 * I think we should cover the information at Hearts of Gold, which seems to be the natural intersection of "information about the author" and "information about the publisher". – n8 (☎) 14:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
