Talk:Thom Nickels

Untitled
Thom Nickels continues to contribute articles to several mainstream Philadelphia newspapers, including ICON Magazine where he is the editor of the City Beat column as well as the magazine's architectural writer. In 2005, he received the Philadelphia AIA Lewis Mumford Award for Architectural Journalism. Nickels' latest book is Two Novellas: Walking on Water & After All This, a revision of his 1989 award winning work. In the new work he expands on the Thomas Merton story as it relates to liturgical changes in the Catholic Church since the 1960s. Often referred to as "the most profilic and diverse freelance writer in Philadelphia," despite his affiliation with several publications, Nickels' journalism career goes back to the 1970s when he wrote for Philadelphia's Distant Drummer, an alternative or underground newspaper. The author of nine published books, Nickels is also the Religion Editor at the Lambda Book Review. He converted from Catholicism to Eastern Orthodoxy on Orthodox Palm Sunday, 2012. http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Water-After-Novellas-ebook/dp/B0078VYOV0

Removal of content about an article based on fabrication
This is based on a Washington Post article and a My City Paper article. It is accurate and quite relevant. There is no reason for its removal. This is a biography, and not a hagiography after all. Jim1138 (talk) 05:12, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Copied from my talk page Jim1138 (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Please tell me who you are?


 * Are you the writer of the City Paper article?


 * I need to proceed further with this. Warts and all yes, but you fixate on all warts and much of the information is inaccurate and dated.


 * The additional book titles are valid. Why do you keep erasing them?


 * Who are you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JudeThom (talk • contribs) 11:37, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * You should reply here and not on my talk page.
 * See WP:ANONYMOUS Wikipedia goes by what wp:RS state, not the editor's credentials. I have no relationship with anything or any groups mentioned on the article. How about you? You perhaps should take a look at wp:COI, wp:PAID, and wp:Autobiography.
 * I have no problem with your addition of books. However, it fails wp:v as it does not wp:cite any source, wp:RS or not. I would recommend using the wp:template . Please add a wp:ISBN= and/or ASIN= (Amazon) so people can easily look it up. You don't need to add the author unless there is someone else besides Nickles. I formatted Spore this way:
 * This provides an RS that the book does indeed exist. You should do the same for the rest.
 * Also note, Wikipedia should not be an exhaustive list of an author's works. See WP:NOT, specifically - WP:NOTDIRECTORY Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
