Hello, As you have noticed I am not the only one who has mentioned that the page you are furiously editing/monitoring/protecting needs work. My suggestion remains to slow down and familiarize yourself with wikipedia policies. Over two years ago someone posted concerns on the article's talk page that it has an uncanny resemblance to the IMDB bio. Now, that alone raises suspicions when one is working on a biography page. But the tone of the page is more promotion then informative. So yes, the article reads like an advertisement either written by the subject himself or someone associated with him. It's what wikipedia tries to avoid. Moreover, I posted the page on the conflict of interest board because, instead of making blatant accusations (as you did suggesting I was a sockpuppet) without anything but flimsy circumstantial evidence, I'm asking that more experiences editors take a look. And from the responses I have had, I'm not alone in thinking there's a conflict of interest going on here with your edits and the previous person who edited the page. Is hearsay from an unnamed PA regarding a parastic work that hasn't been released considered a source? Perhaps, but not a reliable one. Does every project needs a seperate header? No. There's plenty of examples of good biographies on this site, so take the time to look. Something's wrong when a screenwriter not many people have heard of has more accolades listed and seperate sections for efforts with waning marks of distinction then that of Marcel Proust. You did a good job of reformatting the references, but you should know the last thing I'm doing is vandalizing a page, so please be careful when using such terms in your edit summaries. And Good Luck. Jim Steele (talk) 01:24, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

All of my interactions with the charming Mr. Steele have been in regards to Salinger articles, as I think you know, and they were all a number of months ago. Since then, he and I have not crossed paths, and I hope to keep it that way. Your contention that he is associated in some fashion with Salinger's agency is very intriguing. Certainly, the comment on his user page gives one pause, since it is so unusual. However, we would need more evidence before going to the COI board with a complaint. It is a singular obsession of his, to be sure, and he plays fast and loose with the rules around here. Thank you for bringing all of this to my attention. I will look into the matter further when time allows. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
