Tut Tut Well the proverbial storm in the fur lined cup I am dismayed that the vanity article by Tardif was included in Wikipedia it considerably weakens the value I once placed on Wikipedia I would still like to see it deleted it is self written by a self published minor author Nothing noteable whatsoever My entry to Victoriagirl was possibly rude about Tardif s contribution not about Tardif herself BTW I qualify for an article on moi far more than she does but I would not be so presumptuous as to do so I have not needed the vanity press in order to get published I repeat and aver that I have every right to say what I did and will not withdraw a thing I will however apologise to Ms Tardiv but I want my comments to stay That s the price of fame for the well known author Personally I can not see myself endeavouring to contribute as I once did given that Wikipedia has degenerated into a sort of forum for self promotion by non notable people I suggest that in future one should be able to cite critique of one s work in several repectable forums and that indeed one should not write articles about oneself
