I just spent a while updating and organizing this page. I added loads of references, as many as I could find. Let me know what you think. Clarkkent420 (talk) 01:44, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I can see that you've done a lot of work on this. Well done! A reclusive author is a difficult subject to work on. I'll have a look at this in more detail as soon as I can. A couple of things occur to me from a first quick look: the first few paragraphs of the biography are really too close to comfort to the biblio.com biography and would set up copyright violation alarms. I wasn't aware of this when I tagged the page back in Feb. It is possible that the biblio.com biography was initially copied from Wikipedia but the safest thing to do woulld be to rewrite the information in your own words. Next: generally, fan blogs are not regarded as reliable sources. I would be inclined to remove the line about what fans thinks he's writing next, or rewrite it to make it clear that this is fan speculation. Similarly, I have seen links to Facebook pages removed from pages as links to social networking sites or fan sites tend to be frowned upon. Finally (for the moment), you might like to consider creating and using your own sandbox. If there's a lot of work to do on an article, you can copy the existing page to your sandbox, work on it there and transfer it back to Mainspace when you have finished and are happy with it. Hope this is enough to go on right now. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. I've removed the multiple issues tag. That doesn't mean that the article is completely OK, it's just not screaming out for attention (once you fix the possible copyright violation).--Plad2 (talk) 06:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Plad, I saw your question on WereSpielChequers talk page. If you are still not sure that you are getting the full benefit out of the automation that Twinkle is supposed to do, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. There is also a script that will even automatically add all the delsorts to a AfD. --Kudpung (talk) 05:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

And now I need your help...

Hi! I wonder if you could take a look at this. I know we have to AGF but this looks so typically like something we all know in all books, especially based on the cited source and page number, that I am inclined to think that it might possibly be a WP:copyvio. Your very special experience, and your access to print media that I don't have here in Thailand, will be of utmost importance. Humble thanks in advance. --Kudpung (talk) 01:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I think it is correct to AGF in this case. This editor appears to have contributed positively to a number of Beatrix Potter articles. Potter seems to be the chief area of this editor's interests, which might explain why the Potter book has been used as the only reference. On the other hand, the text certainly reads like the kind of bio one finds in a book and I think you are right to have a concern. Personally, I would have thought a note on the editor's talk page suggesting that it needs more content and references to support the notability (Macdonald has written 6 books and clearly reviews extensively in children's literature) rather than slapping a Template:Cv-unsure on it would be courteous. If there's no response, I'd template it. In the meantime, I'll see whether I can dig up something concrete to help. Or would you like me to deal with it?--Plad2 (talk) 06:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

And I've found a couple of RS which could be used to expand and support WP:N if needed.--Plad2 (talk) 07:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind handling it? Copyright is not my forté, but I do realise it's very easy to innocently 'borrow' something. I mean, she might even written it herself for the book, but I wouldn't be sure if that allows it to be reused on the Wikipedia. With your background, and possible access to the print media concerned, you're far better qualified than I am. --Kudpung (talk) 08:15, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Will do when I get back tonight.--Plad2 (talk) 08:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
