James B3: you have *got* to be kidding! you just paraphrased the entire NYT article! I don't think that's encyclopedia-worthy... Crzrussian

I didn't paraphrase the entire article. Most of the article's focus is on his blogging and the reaction of his friends and employer when they found out he was in charge of Underneath Their Robes. I only mentioned some of the details like his family background, his education, and some of his Harvard writings. Not all of his writings were mentioned in the NYT article. If I paraphrased from some of the NYT article it's because that is the only major article which has gone into any details about his life. The part about his parents, his sister, they were an important part of his background, so I wanted to mention them. I think that we should at least keep in the part about his parents and his sister, and his upbringing, since that helped form the person he is. I also think that the links to the NYT article and the Harvard Crimson articles should have been removed. If you don't want that information in the profile, then a link would at least tell readers where to find out more. Otherwise the entry is just bare bones. Since you objected to what I submitted, I will leave the article be and you can decide if you want to include the links or whatever else. --JamesB3 20:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
