COI tag not needed

i think the coi tag is unnecessary, the interested editor was neutral. Pohick2 (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Novelist

I could find no mention of Foster being a novelist in the article. I also came across no mention of anything he wrote being a novel. So I removed him from that category. If he infact was a novelsit, please put that information into the article, preferably in a way that it is clear what work he has produced was a novel.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:02, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sesshu Foster's Atomik Azteks is a novel. I read it in its first draft version and again when it was published. He is, therefore, a novelist. Rick HarschRick harsch (talk) 21:21, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
