Talk:Tom Reiss

Suggested replacement text for the blanked and tagged copyvio section
Here is my suggested replacement text to replace the entire content of the section on The Orientalist:  The Orientalist: Solving the Mystery of a Strange and Dangerous Life. It can be fleshed out and added to later, but for now I think we just need to get rid of the copyvio tag and replace it with a short summary like that. Softlavender (talk) 03:24, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

It is not a fringe theory that Essad Bey is not the core author of Ali and Nino. Furthermore, this article quotes a number of articles reviewing Reiss's Orientalist and they simply quote his conclusions that Essad Bey as Kurban Said wrote Ali and Nino. These articles such as Guardian etc are not presenting anything new, but simply repeating what Reiss says. So reference from Reiss's book Orientalist should be quoted - not the numerous articles that are simply regurgitating his material. They are merely summarizing his findings, not offering their own.
