Tom Burns (academic)
An article already existed about the same person (T. Burns, which I have moved to Tom Burns (sociologist) as this is how he is described in obituaries) – you may want to merge it with your article. Also, the "writings" section of the article you created seems to be copied from another website, which may be a violation of copyright. To confirm that permission has been given see Donating copyrighted materials if you originally wrote it and are the copyright holder; if not then see Requesting copyright permission, or an alternative is to rewrite it in your own words. — Snigbrook 22:23, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Tom Burns (sociologist) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.
