Kaufman
I note this edit of yours. I'm about to revert it, simply because the material is too long for that particular page, which is already bloated. If you'd like to recycle the material (e.g. for Draft:Wallace Kaufman), simply copy it; you'll find it below here and

<!-- Wallace Kaufman 1939--, is a writer, mediator and business consultant living in Lincoln County on the Oregon coast. His books include The Beaches Are Moving (Doubleday/Anchor 1979, co-author with Dr. Orrin Pilkey), Finding Hidden Values In Your Home (McMillan, 1987), No Turning Back: Dismantling the Fantasies of Environmental Thinking (Basic Books, 1994), Coming Out of the Woods: The Solitary Life of a Maverick Naturalist (Perseus Books, 2001), and Invasive Plants (Stackpole Books, 2007, 2nd ed. 2013, co-author with Dr. Sylvan Kaufman). Kaufman also translated two books by Mayan writer Victor Dionisio Montejo--El Kanil (1982) and The Bird Who Cleans the World (1984). For ten years he served as media page editor for American Forests magazine and also wrote numerous features for that magazine. He has also written for National Wildlife, Orion, Audubon, Omni and many newspapers.

Kaufman was the third son of Emma Pickering Kaufman and Arthur Kaufman. He was born in Maspeth, NY and later lived briefly with his family in Roslyn Heights, NY, then spent most of his school years in Sea Cliff, NY. On scholarships from the Li Foundation and Proctor and Gamble he attended Duke University and received an AB degree, magna cum laude, in 1961. He also wrestled at Duke and in varsity soccer he was selected for the All South team. He received a Marshall Scholarship and did his graduate degree in literature at Oxford University. At Oxford he played football (soccer) for Merton College and served as president of the Oxford University Poetry Society.

After returning to the U.S. in the summer of 1963 he ran a food concession at the Sea Cliff Pavilion before taking a job as a substitute teacher in North Shore Schools of Glen Head, NY where he taught general science and biology as well as coaching wrestling. The following year he taught English in the Harry B. Thompson Middle School in Syosset, NY. The following summer and fall he served as assistant curator of natural history for the Nassau County Museum of Natural History, and he helped plan the new museum under construction at Garvey's Point in Glen Cove.

In January of 1965 he began work as a lecturer in creative writing and literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While at Chapel Hill he also filled in at Duke University for novelist Reynolds Price when Price was on leave. In 1980 and again in 1982 Kaufman was visiting writer-in-residence at Bucknell University.

Kaufman began working in the Soviet Union in 1989 as a journalist member of the US0SU radio amateurs' expedition to Ayon Island in the Soviet arctic. He went on to consult and write for new private Russian companies, From 1991-93 he conducted economic surveys of new manufacturers in Eastern Europe as part of a World Bank research project. In 1993 he became resident adviser for housing and land reform in Kazakhstan, serving as chief of Party for USAID contractor International City County Management Association. He continued to work in the former Soviet Union conducting research, monitoring elections, and consulting for small businesses. -->

above here. (Yes, simply by editing your user talk page, e.g. in order to reply to me, you will display the text.) Please specify the source for each non-trivial assertion within your draft: here's how to do this. If you create the draft at Draft:Wallace Kaufman, then when you think it's ready to become an article, announce this and another person will turn it into an article. (For some details of the process as well as links to more details, see this.)

If you're interested in seeing draft creation proceeding, here is a draft started by another person (User:Lesser Cartographies) that I'm working on myself. I fear that it will be a few more weeks before the result is ready for release as an article (or more likely two articles). -- Hoary (talk) 07:36, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to LeBeau, South Dakota. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a &#123;&#123;Talkback&#125;&#125; message on my talk page. @ 04:26, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
