There is some very suspicious editing in relation to this page from the IP 199.185.175.96. The previous version, and that of AJ Finn himself, had some verifiably incorrect information.
The old version claimed the Washington Post decided there was no plagiarism in relation to the Denzil allegations. But that article was published BEFORE the New York Times made those Denzil claims. It was actually written about completely different plagiarism allegations, made in the New Yorker, and relating to the film Copycat.
That Copycat information wasn't in the article at all.
On the AJ page, the two quotes used to defend the author failed to declare conflicts of interest. Karin Slaughter worked directly with Mallory, which wasn't acknowledged in the previous version. Carlo Gébler's quotes were actually in relation to his own feud with the *author* of the New Yorker piece.
There was no acknowledgement that Denzil's book was released first, instead focusing on a single claim from an agent, who also has a direct financial interest in Mallory.
The old version is highly biased, and misleading.
Once corrected, these edits were undone by 199.185.175.96 within hours of them being posted. Peterspeterson (talk) 03:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
