Barbara Kingsolver
The sentence that you added to the Literary Themes section may have a place in the article. The problem with it as you added it is that it was rather controversially worded, and unsourced. It might have been better worded like "Barbara Kingsolver has included few positive portrayals of men in her works." or "Noted literary critic (so and so) complained of the dearth of positive male characters in Barbara Kingsolver's novels." if you can find a source for it. It is preferable that you find a source for that information, as material that is unsourced may be considered original research. In general it is best if you can find a source--some reasonably reputable research material that says the same thing. The other material in Literary Themes was pulled from a variety of secondary sources and although it could probably do better to cite those sources it is generally agreed upon. So go ahead and add that material again, but make sure it is worded more neutrally, and if at all possible find a website or other source that you can cite the fact from. Thanks! --TexasDex 17:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
