I have made many changes and additions to the Lil Hardin Armstrong biography. They are all based upon her own unpublished autobiography, which we collaborated on, but never got to finish. I don't know how else to reference my changes--we were close friends for the last 10 years of her life. Christiern Albertson 01:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I guess you have figured out that Fred Nurdley and I (Chris Albertson) are one and the same. I tried to change the user name, but had to re-register as Christiern Albertson (my full name, the system would not accept "Chris"). I notice that there have been several attempts to vandalize the Bessie biography and I hope my input is not regarded as such. I should mention that I question the assertion that William Smith brought 2 mulattos to the household. I don't see a reference for that information and it does not get a single mention in any of the many interviews I conducted with Bessie's family and school mates.

[edit] Bessie Smith

Hi, thanks for your email. I deleted the link, and others, because of the guidelines at WP:NOT and WP:EL. Specifically, that wikipedia is not a link directory. If the information in the website is useful, try to incorporate it into the article. If you want to reply, please do on my talkpage as I almost missed your email.

[edit] Bessie Smith

Hi. I'm not sure why, but the articles about African-Americans seem to suffer from vandalism more than some of the others (and it's usually not racist vandalism). I don't know why the anonymous editor is so persistent about the census data. Census data of the time is notorious unreliable with respect to African-Americans; most of the census-takers were white and shared common attitudes of their day toward Blacks. The fact that this editor is anonymous, cites proprietary data, and is disparaging toward family members and a marriage license makes me suspicious, but I'm just a fan; I don't have any facts to cite as counter-evidence. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 16:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
