Confusion between father & son

The opening section of this article refers to RBM, born 1926, who was RCM's father. Liam Proven (talk) 00:42, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Much of article was lifted from Matheson's website . . .

. . . and reads like an endorsement. Source: http://rcmatheson.com/Bio.html

Also, I couldn't find any information about certain items in the article: Delusion, Demons, The Chronicles of Amber Syfy TV mini-series (perhaps it's in production), Dragons, the band As Above, So Below, or musician P.G. Sturges, using Google, IMDb, AllMusic.com, et al.

I inferred these book series titles (original text): "YEARS BEST HORROR, YEARS BEST FANTASY, YEARS BEST NEW HORROR, YEARS BEST HORROR STORIES". I replaced them with, respectively, The Year's Best Horror Stories, The Year's Best Fantasy Stories, and The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror (I dropped the last one as seemed to be a repeat of the first).

This edit [1] was a blatant copyright violation, and has accounted for the subsequent tone of the article. I've reverted to the pre-copyright violation version. JNW (talk) 13:35, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
