[edit] Blogs are not suitable references

I substituted links to original sources and removed anonymous blog reference, which may have been by blog owner?--Beth Wellington 18:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of problems for anon user

A writer writer requested a discussion of the problem with the blog link by someone knowledgeable with the content.

I started the Claudia Emerson page, but ran out of time to enter the external links I'd already compiled a list of via Google for my own blog entry of April 18. When I returned to the page to add the links, as the only other editor at the time, Anon. had added two links to Purdy's blog in the "External links" section.

  • a blog page of links, giving an advertisement-like description.
  • a Ted Kooser article.

The list of links on the blog were sometimes duplicative (i.e. two links for one poem or multiple links for news stories with the same content) and not in a helpful bibliographic form crediting the sources. I substituted the list of links I'd already compiled. I replaced the link to Kooser's article with one to his page, thus allowing the reader to see additional content by the Poet Laureate, who writes a column on poetry).

When the link reappeared, I deleted it a second time, adding a note to the discussion page with my explanaton and asked an admin I find helpful to take a look, rather than start an edit war or a three-revert rule violation.

The discussion page for the IP was blank or I might have suggested that anon register and link to the blog on the user paper and/or the article discussion page, if he wanted others to see the blog. I even looked up the email address for the blog owner and considered writing him, but went on to other things.

Today I returned to see that anon had reverted the link from various IP's again and again and again as after others agreed with me and deleted it. One editor perceived that he had been threatened. There now seem to be more entries in this article's history regarding Purdy's blog than for other additions to the article. --Beth Wellington 03:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
