The link points to the cyberpunk novelist William Gibson as does the picture. He is still alive and well.

No it doesn't. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:57, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pictured/linked William Gibson incorrect

[edit]

The pictured and linked William Gibson is William Ford Gibson, age 60, who is very much alive. The links should be to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson_(playwright). A photo is included in that article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:William_Gibson_(playwright).jpg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musikia (talkcontribs) 12:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

No it isn't. It was fixed over 14 hours ago. --SVTCobra 12:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The guy on the picture is the other William Gibson (of Neuromancer fame), not the playwright.
