Bibliography Updates

Hello,

I have updated the tabular bibliography to include all works listed on John Chu's personal website. I added reprints where applicable. And I added all awards and honors. Sources were added to all entries. And wikilinks were added where possible. Chu has a novel forthcoming but it has not been officially announced by the publisher yet, so I did not add it to the bibliography. This will need updated in the future. If you see any errors or updates please let me know, or feel free to make edits to correct them.

Happy editing! Colroon (talk) 19:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and Body Updates

Hello,

I updated the lead to focus on Chu's contributions as an author. He is not notable for his engineering and translation work.

I updated the body to now include two headings. The first is "Personal life and education." Here, I updated the existing content with information gleaned from interviews with Chu previously unreferenced. I attempted to add specificity and clarity where possible. That mean keeping sentences short and factual, and adding dates and new sources. The second heading is "Career." This section was updated with the same principles as the first. I added more information about Chu's awards and honors. I added additional information on translation work. I also noted that Chu's debut novel is forthcoming. He has confirmed this in an interview, but no announcement has been made by his publisher yet. This will need updated in the future.

If you see any errors or updates please let me know, or feel free to make edits to correct them.

Happy editing. Colroon (talk) 19:33, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
