Biography was almost completely copied from author's website
In this article, I noted the peculiar use of the word my in the following sentence:
 * Around this time she was accepted into the Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa for my Master of Fine Arts degree.

It looked as if this sentence was copied from a biography written by Wittlinger herself. I discovered that this edit is an almost verbatim copy of part of the About Ellen page of the author's own website: http://www.ellenwittlinger.com/about.html

I consider that unacceptable for an encyclopedia, therefore, I am deleting that part, except for some simple biographical information, and add a link to that "About Ellen" page under the external links. Johan Lont (talk) 22:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
