December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted this change this edit to D. M. Thomas because it amounted to an attack on the subject of the article, and the topic you raise is properly addressed in the article . You may wish to read the introduction to editing for more information about Wikipedia. Thank you. Springnuts (talk) 11:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for leaving me a message, and my apologies for the confusion over the message above which I have now corrected. The article does discuss the topic - but if you can find a source for the material you wish to add then please add that in. The key thing is to have reliable sources and to maintain a neutral point of view. Springnuts (talk) 12:16, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I have posted a notice about the issue here: [[1]]. Springnuts (talk) 12:28, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I have again reverted your edits as I believe they are inappropriate in the biography of a living person - see WP:BLP and WP:GRAPEVINE. Let's gather some community wisdom from the noticeboard request. Springnuts (talk) 16:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
