A Confederacy of Dunces Revert
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know why I reverted your edit to A Confederacy of Dunces. There were two problems with your change. First, the format of the link you used was not correct and caused problems for those viewing the page. The "Introduction" link above can help you with that.

Second, you attempted to link to Helen Hill. However, the Slate article cited did not indicate it was Ms. Hill's murder that caused the delay of the filming. Further, Ms. Hill's article contains no information on her heading the Louisiana Film commission. Finally, the Slate article indicated "the woman who led the Louisiana State Film Commission was murdered by her husband." Ms. Hill's article indicated that her killer was never found and, further, that her husband had been shot in the incident as well. Unless you can find a source indicating that Ms. Hill's death caused the delay of this film, it is not suitable to link her to the article.

I know it is hard to have your work here reverted, but since Wikipedia is used as a reference by its readers it is important to be sure that it is accurate. Please know that I and all of the Wikimedia community appreciate people like you working to make this a better place. Please do not let this experience discourage you.

Should you have any questions - about the article, my edit, or anything at Wikipedia - please feel free to ask me at my talk page below.

Cheers,
