GHOSTWRITER PAGE, RECENT ISSUES AS OF 11 APRIL 2015

The (restored) Manhattan literary reference to pricing of a book existed as early as March 25, 2012 and got deleted somehow from this 'Remuneration and Credit' section of the Ghostwriting page. The firm is authoritative and a good source for accurate pricing. The current reference (as NeilN requested/suggested) is The Washington Post, from a 9 June 2014 article on Ghostwriting itself.

Seo-Writer and Ghostwriters Ink are self- referrals from the sellers' own websites. They should be removed, according to this rule cited by NielN that secondary sources need to be used as references and not the seller's own site, until they can provide such a source.

This one also fulfills the criteria of a secondary source: One ghostwriter gave the following fees in 2011:[1] Jump up ^ {{cite web |url=http://www.writersdigest.com/writing-articles/by-writing-goal/get-published-sell-my-work/how-to-be-a-ghostwriter |title= How to be a ghostwriter|last1=James-Enger|first1=Kelly |last2= |first2= |date=June 7, 2011 |website=www.writersdigest.com |publisher=Writer's Digest |accessdate=2 September 2014

Now, let's please resume the discussion here. Please do comment on the above evidence from the current page. Italic text

I have done other work on this page that I thought was careful and informative, only to have it deleted. In fact I was threatened. I am experienced in American publishing -- for over 2 decades I've worked in it in various capacities.

I am new here as an editor, so bear with me, but I am fairly stunned by the environment. For example, a man -- who, in his profile, says he started college this year, and recently did over 3000 edits in one month (this is given in his statistics; obsessional?) -- also recently deleted me and accused me of vandalism. When I wrote a defense he had nothing to say. I won't lose sleep, but what kind of operation is this? Wikipedia could be a good thing. I do understand your concerns, NeilN. You are clear when you write. I'm just looking for consistency. Mariwiki77 (talk) 06:34, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Mariwiki77. I'm a bit unclear on what you'd like me to do here? I don't have any real issue with your latest edit. [10] --NeilN talk to me 06:40, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

NeilN, are you an admin? You seem to have a substantial track record on Wikipedia. Frankresduto, over the last few days, merely deletes whatever I put up. He offers no edit summary, seems to follow no rules -- especially in relation to the above discussion about secondary sources, has no history of contributions. He undid my last edit with no explanation -- the one you find no objections to. How can someone mediate this, rather than he and I engaging in an edit war. Would appreciate it. I am beginning to understand how this process works, being new to it. 38.109.98.242 (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
