More issues with Merle Miller article
I just wanted you to know that I have deleted several completely uncited/unsourced "rebuttals" to Dr. Ferrell's criticisms of Miller's book "Plain Speaking" in the Merle Miller article. The rewrite was supposedly a "rebuttal" of Dr. Ferrell's points, but included few specific details and such dubious points as "Dr. Ferrell hung up on Kaiser." I strongly suspect that either Carol Hanley or "Charles Kaiser" were behind the changes. The changes also deleted some of Ferrell's specific criticisms mentioned in his American Heritage article, such as that Truman threatened legal action against Miller if he published his book. If Kaiser's criticisms are properly sourced/cited and fit the reliable source criteria that's one thing, but until/unless they've been shown to fit Wiki's requirements they shouldn't be included in the article, in my opinion. Just a "heads up". Thanks! 70.145.229.162 (talk) 20:23, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- Great, thanks. I saw your remarks on the talk page, and I agreed at the time, but didn't have an opportunity to reply. —Mark Dominus (talk) 22:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of people with reduplicated names, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Richard Richards, Robert Roberts and Thomas Thomas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Argonauts Club, Georges Ernest Boulanger, and Thomas W. Evans. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —Mark Dominus (talk) 18:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
My edits were to add information and correct mistakes, especially on the Thomas W Evans page. If this constitutes vandalism, I've clearly misunderstood the aims of Wikipedia. § etakjf Etakjf (talk) 13:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC) ekatjf [1]Etakjf (talk) 13:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC) etakjf
