Re: Your edits to Vicki Delany
Why are you attempting to remove the review in question? It's a published review by a major, notable reviewer. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 13:55, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it is a published review by a notable reviewer. It is also quite noticibly the only review attached to this book, whereas the book recieved a sea of highly positive reviews including a starred review by a more respected notable reviewer (Publisher's Weekly) that don't show up on the article. By which I can only summize that whoever chose to add the reviews intended to put the book in the worst possbile light. If the PW review in particular and the positive ones from Library Journal, Bookist, Globe and Mail, to name a few, were also part of the Wiki post, I would not have removed this one. I did not add any reviews, as that is not my role. 69.7.252.198 (talk) 14:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC) Vicki Delany
 * I was the one who added all the reviews, and I assure you that I did not have an axe to grind in choosing that one - it just happened to be one that I stumbled across when looking for published reviews of your work on the web. I was concerned that the article might be nominated for deletion, in the absence of any sources at all. If you can provide links to other, more favorable published reviews, I'd be glad to add those as well, to give a more balanced portrayal of things. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 22:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
