[edit] Publicist's puff

On August 25, 2006, user "Earling316" -- who has never contributed to any Wikipedia entry other than this one -- substantially added to the article with breathy, non-encyclopedic prose, way too many pictures of books, and generally turned the article into a puffy publicity piece. Against that background, the piece needs to be re-written so it is more neutral and objective in tone. The information could stay; however, the silly, unobjective "you go girl" slant of the copy should change. --207.69.137.23 01:30, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Earling316 also lifted all the text verbatim from the author's website, which is a copyright violation without any express proof it was done with her permission. (And if it was, it's not up to authors to be providing text about themselves; it's in violation of Wiki policies.) UncleFester 21:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
