Re: Julie and Jonathan Myerson
Judging by the edits your account has made and the nature of the material you've deleted, I'm guessing you're an interested party, possibly Julie or Jonathan Myerson. If that is the case then please stop. Editing articles where there could be a conflict of interest is generally discouraged. If you're unhappy with something in the article you can contact the OTRS team who will help you to deal with and resolve any complaints regarding the content of articles on Wikipedia.

Julie and Jonathan Myerson
It seems clear that you're an interested party, and I would again advise you to stop editing the articles and making biassed edits. If you're unhappy with something discuss it with another editor or make your views known on the talk pages of the articles concerned. We try to maintain a neutral point of view here at Wikipedia.

Your edits
OK, I've now done some editing to the articles concerned. Your references are still there, but I've taken out the unreferenced stuff. For example, nowhere in the Marrin article does she comment on whether or not she's read the book. I've also chopped some of the quotes down a bit as there was too much and it's unnecessary. The section is really about the controversy which was caused by the book rather than about the book itself. We are an encyclopedia, not a literary review.

Before you make any further edits
Before you make any further edits to the articles concerned (Julie Myerson and Jonathan Myerson), please take a look at the guidelines regarding WP:SPA and WP:COI as well as WP:NPOV. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 15:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
