== Janis Joplin == 

 Hi: 

 Thanks for your messages re: my editing the Janis Joplin entry.  I apologize profusely for any trouble I've caused during my constant editing and revising.  I have been using the preview button, but sometimes I'll notice small errors or I'll want to expand the narrative, which obviously creates havoc. 

 I think it's best if I stop now, so as not to try your patience any further.  It was fun and, as this was my first time editing an article in Wikipedia, I feel as though I'm really starting to get the hang of it! 

 The remaining places where citations are still needed I've been unable to verify using the numerous references I've been citing. 

 I was going to add some stuff about Joplin's relationship with Kris Kristofferson; some more about Joplin's complicated and somewhat ambivalent and contradictory relationship with Peggy Caserta; and some stuff about Joplin's alter ego, "Pearl," a persona she developed to protect the real Janis Joplin: a sensitive, vulnerable and insecure young woman. Perhaps you - or someone else - may wish to do this, as I feel I've tried your patience enough. 

 Cheers!
