I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

Why is this article so repetitive and poorly edited?

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Surprisingly, this is not a good article. It repeats itself. It is poorly edited. The same topics (perhaps even sentences) reoccur. Repeatedly the same things are said. This article needs better editing. For an article about a professional writer, it is surprisingly repetitive and poorly edited.

See the problem?

This page was redesigned at the edge.
