[edit ]

I'm new to contributing to Wikipedia and would very much appreciate your help. I have tried to post a new biography that published this week on the historical figure, Felix Grundy. I've tried to post this biography as a reference on the page for Felix Grundy but it keeps getting deleted. Can you tell me why or if I am doing something wrong with posting? I can be reached at <redacted>. Below is the post I was trying to make and here is the Wikipedia page on Felix Grundy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Grundy Many thanks, Betsy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Betsy Cragon (talk • contribs) — Betsy Cragon (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


HERE IS THE LANGUAGE: Heller III, J. Roderick. Democracy's Lawyer: Felix Grundy of the Old Southwest. LSU Press. Published in 2010.

AND HERE IS THE ACTUAL CODE I'VE USED TO POST IT:

This new account is an obvious sockpuppet of User:Democracy's Lawyer, an s.p.a. only used to advertise this same book; and has been blocked as such. That does not necessarily mean that the book is irrelevant to the article; but neither the spammer nor their sockpuppet account has ever attempted to make any case for adding it to the article, being content to add spamlinks to it. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
I checked the link to the book - it is indeed perfectly on-topic for the Felix Grundy article and is published by a university press. It's unfortunate that some prior user added it as a reference to some less relevant articles, but I can't see any reason to remove it as a reference in the Felix Grundy article, still less to conclude this a sockpuppet rather than a good-faith edit. By all means blacklist spammers, but it would be a dangerous policy to blacklist references to books, particularly academic books - it would be too easy for someone who wanted to suppress a book to covertly spam references to it in order to get it blacklisted (not that that is likely to have happened in this case).

This seems to belong on Talk:Felix Grundy, so I have copied it there. I have no prior interest in this topic or association with any of its editors. Enon (talk) 23:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
