Nonfiction
I don't know what you mean by my "breaking links" and I'm certainly not doing anything you find inappropriate on purpose. I'm actively trying to ADD a relevant citation to the lead of this article--what would nearly universally be considered a good-faith edit. For you to threaten me with a "vandalism construal" is completely unreasonable and needlessly antagonistic. My "source" is not outdated; it is from the year 2014. Are you claiming that it's unreliable because it's an e-book? Your comments don't seem to demonstrate that you have read or looked at the source at all. Also, I'm not sure why you're so adamant on the spelling. I don't care about the spelling (both of which I've widely seen); I care about helping to improve the article's credibility by including sources and a better, more accurate definition in the lead. I even put your spelling in the primary position (outside of the parentheses) and thus thought I had compromised with you. Why do you think after all I've edited that the spelling is what I care about most and then go on to wipe out what I've edited, with citations, to be replaced by a bunch of uncited phrases? You seem to be misinterpreting everything I'm doing. Wolfdog (talk) 02:30, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it is a misinterpretation on my part, so I will try to give you the benefit of the doubt starting now. If it turns out you're truly not doing this on purpose, then I apologize for coming to a rash conclusion. However, if this is the case, then you are accidentally editing an old version of the page. If you compare your most recent edit with the version after it, you will see that your version replaces all instances of "nonfiction" with "non-fiction" throughout the entire article. Additionally, the obsolete versions of this page have a broken disambiguation link at the top, as does your version; I suppose this also suggests that you simply edited an old version of the page. Here is hoping that I was wrong about your intentions, in which case, I fully rescind my suspicion of purposeful vandalism, and hope that we can wiki harmoniously with one another.

 * OK. I think I must have been pressing undo (which I assumed would go to the most recent edits without changing anything there), while adding in my citation for the first paragraph. I promise that the only edits I was trying to make were to the first few sentences of the lead, without touching upon the spelling conventions or disambiguation link (which I see now became a redlink in my own versions, which is confusing because I never [at least intentionally] even touched that part of the article). I appreciate your understanding; I must have had technical difficulties that I was completely unaware of and that are completely my own oblivious fault. Would you be opposed to my newly proposed definition of nonfiction, with the literary e-book source? I'll try to leave the rest of the article untouched; I didn't realize the other times that other material was being altered. Wolfdog (talk) 22:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd also be happy to include the original definition alongside a secondary definition with the source I include, if you feel that this is the most inclusive decision. That original sentence's definition -- "a narrative that strictly presents presumably real-life events, established facts, and true information" -- is actually my own wording from January 18th as you can see in the revision history.

How to rename a page
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions. I noticed that you renamed Non-fiction to Nonfiction by cut and paste. That's not allowed in Wikipedia. Please move, not cut and paste, when renaming a page (see Moving a page). If the target page has edit history and cannot be moved to, please place a moving request at Requested moves. I have requested to merge the edit history of Non-fiction to Nonfiction. Thanks. --Neo-Jay (talk) 07:21, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
