[edit] Mark1800's opinion

It's not an advertisement just because you say it is. Please discuss specifics. Kat'n'Yarn 07:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

While I'm not sure about specifics on this. The book artical Outrageous_Betrayal smacks of advertising to me. Mark1800 08:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

That's your POV. Look at other articles on books and articulate what you think is more promotional than a neutral point of view would be. Also keep in mind that any opinions need to be based on reliable published sources, not how you feel about it. Kat'n'Yarn 08:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, I just followed the twisted web that's been weaved from the LM page all the way to here. I have to say that I find this particular page to be rather below quality. Wether it's NPOV or not isn't really something I'm particularily capable or (to be honest) interested in, but... I think it could use some serious re-arrangement. For example, taking a quick look at a few other Authors, I noted that generally speaking, there's a "Biography" section, instead of having the header include all of that information. Also, the "Published Works" section isn't particularily well organized. It should be "Articles" and "Books," not "Articles" and "Outrageous Betrayal." I think there's other work that could be done to it, but it's very early in the morning, and I'm getting sleepy. Inoko 13:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• I must also state that I resent these personal attacks from user Mark1800 as well. I am most certainly not Steven Pressman, and have taken care to accurately cite multiple sources in sourced, blockquoted referenced citation format when citing sources, in order to make sure I am not adding my own POV to articles, but simply information from reliable sources.Smeelgova 12:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
