Publicist's puff

[edit]

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)Reply

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)Reply

Article cleanup and GA

[edit]

I've been doing some cleanup and believe this article is close to where it could be nominated for WP:GA review.

The main focus of the cleanup was to remove claims that were not supported by WP:RS. Some were WP:SELFPUB claims but we can't use those here. There are some items that need attention:

  • Find a source for the claim "Her novels have been translated into 25 languages."
  • Verify the claim that Daddy's Girl appeared in the 2007 Reader's Digest Select Editions Volume 294 - #6. I suspect it was an abridged version of the story.
  • Review the non-fiction works as all of them might be collections of Chick Wit material. In that case, update the paragraph about Chick Wit.
  • Add an infobox.
  • http://scottoline.com/Offers/index.html says that Look Again was named a "Best book of the year" by the Washington Post. This looks useful to add.
