Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Paul Auster, you may be blocked from editing. Materialscientist (talk) 23:21, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to this, sorry for not understanding and following proper Wikipedia rules, no "vandalism" or "disruption" intended. A similar complaint had already been posted on Auster Wiki page by another reviewer about Paul "bending rules of story telling and blurring difference between fiction and autobiography". In principle this is a serious allegation that should not be casually tolerated by literary community regardless of its damaging personal affect on my family. I can fully document, support that comment, and correct Paul's exploitation and publication of untrue family history as autobiographical fact. When Guardian article on Bloodbath Nation came out a few weeks ago I asked Paul to resolve this but no response. My family has no other option than to publicly document the true story which we can all verify. Please advise how to post corrections without another rejection.

Thank you

We ask that you:

disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
