[edit] Name change

"Daniel M. Kimmel is the name used professionally by the subject. I have set up redirects from Dan and Daniel Kimmel. --HelpRing 13:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

There was a large collection of external links, most going to the same site -- I condensed those into one link to the review site. Also, there was a link to an unverfiable review on a personal webpage -- it was written much differently than his other reviews, so I'm not certain that it is an authentic review by Mr. Kimmel. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 18:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a problem?

I don't get this fighting over this page. I didn't even ask to have an entry here and was startled to find I had one. I corrected some errors (NOT opinions, just statements of facts that got names or dates wrong).

Now someone is deleting what newspaper I write for, what books I have written, a link to my reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (after someone else linked a whole bunch of reviews seemingly at random), as well as links to further information about me, and the award for my book.

This is all non-controversial. This is not about self-promotion but simply being correct, and providing links for further information. The summary of my book (NOT written by me) is straightforward and accurate and I've left it alone, even if it's not what I would have necessarily written.

If you're going to list me as a film critic, the paper I write for is pertinent, as is a single link to access reviews. If you're going to list me as an author, the bibliography provides important information.
