[edit] Chris Peacock?

I'm removing this name until someone can provide more context than simply "classmate." He has no Wikipedia article, although Christopher Peacocke does. The name does appear in Podge and Rodge, but as an example of a double entendre, and Kellogg School of Management mentions it once. Googling for the phrase "chris peacock" with or without the phrases "rick moody" or "brown university" reveals very little. --Officiallyover 19:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Dale Peck review

Removing this material is a bad idea for two reasons: 1) Peck's review is, for better or worse, a notable event, as evidenced by the other material in the paragraph. Not including it in Moody's article would be a glaring omission. 2) Loading the critique section with only positive reviews while deliberately excluding a well known negative review is POV pushing. Not mentioning Peck's review at all is not an option, but perhaps we can work out a compromise version, with a more concise treatment of the material? --ShelfSkewed Talk 05:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

There appears to be an edit war in progress over this review. Please stop reverting each others edits. If either of you feel this matter needs administrative review, you can post a note here. Thanks. Fbagatelleblack (talk) 02:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Haven't seen the review in question, but I agree that as it stands this seems like a bit too much puffery.
