Talk:Michael Handler Ruby

Edit request
Disclosure: I have a COI as the subject of this proposed article. Disclosure: I used editors to create this article who previously did paid work for me.

The editors who created this article about me made a number of small mistakes, mostly involving references (see lengthy July 1 note on Michael Ruby1 talk page for an explanation of the creation of the article). I would appreciate it if I could correct these now.

The coding for all of the references needs to be redone. I have studied the coding for references, and I believe this is proper coding for each reference in order of appearance in the article, and the proper way for each reference to look in the References section:

1.	Mayer, Bernadette. “Thirteen Poems by Bernadette Mayer, Edited by Michael Ruby and Sam Truitt”. Jacket2.

2.	“Michael H. Ruby, An Editor, Is Wed To Louisa Wood”. The New York Times.

3.	Weber, Bruce. “Sandy Ruby, Co-Founder of Tech Hifi, Dies at 67”. The New York Times.

18.	18./10. Chiasson, Dan. “Go Poets”. The New York Review of Books.

In addition to fixing the references, I would like to make these additional small corrections:

--Under Life and Career, in the first paragraph, I’d like to improve the second sentence so it reads thus: His six older half-siblings and younger full sister include the mathematician entrepreneur Sandy Ruby and the Democratic Party activist Alice Germond.

--Under Life and Career, in the third paragraph beginning: Ruby didn’t start publishing xxx the book title should read Compulsive Words (instead of Compulive Word).

--Under Life and Career, in the last paragraph beginning: Other notable relatives xxx there should be a comma after Koestenbaum, so it reads xxx poet Wayne Koestenbaum, Broadway singing star xxx

--Under Ebooks, in the items Close Your Eyes and Inner Voices Heard Before Sleep, the extra spaces should be removed between the book title and the city.

--Under Chapbooks, similarly, in the items Foghorns and The Star-Spanged Banner, the same extra spaces should be removed.

--Under External Links, in the second entry, Recordings of multiple performances, there are a couple of problems. First, there appears at the beginning of the entry: [1]. It needs to be removed. Second, the wrong part of the line is hyperlinked, because of an extra ], which needs to be removed.:

--Under Category, I want to add: Category:Columbia High School alumni
