Your edits to Robert K. Merton has been stored in the edit history until an cite from a reliable source is provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomer Vial (talkcontribs)

  • Well, they are reverted. A reliable source is not generally deemed necessary for a summary, but in this case, your summary of a book by the subject of the article was much too long for a biographical article. Plus, it had formatting errors. Now, if Social Structure and Anomie is notable by our standards (meaning it's been important, has been reviewed by others, etc.--all verified with secondary sources), you can try writing that article, separately. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 04:29, 17 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
