thread_title:  Question 

message: I recently added the following information to the Mary Doria Russell page:
In writing A Thread of Grace Russell has written that her father, who served in the Marine Corps, helped her in researching military and weaponry which the author used to add depth to the novel's setting.*Loaded Questions Interview with author Mary Doria Russell. 
Doria Russell stated in this interview that the involvement of her father and his Marine service lead her to write A Thread of Grace and added to the authenticity of the novel, something that many of her readers have lauded the book for. I would like to argue that this information, complete with a substantiated citation, be allowed to remain on the Mary Doria Russell page.

replies: text: It should be noted the site, Loaded Questions, which has been linked to is a site in which I participate and conduct interviews. It should also be noted that Loaded Questions does not sell any products and and stands to make no monetary gain by ensuring that Wikipedia has the most current information about Mary Doria Russell, her career and her novels. The information which has been added to this page is not of a controversial nature and it is my belief that, despite the fact that I conducted the interview, it is information which must be included on the Mary Doria Russell page.

thread_title:  Information Concerning Mary Doria Russell 

message: Did she move around a lot growing up? That is not required to have a military influenced childhood, but I'm curious if she grew up that way. 
Also it is a common omission, in many articles about children of American soldiers, to leave out ones mobile childhood. Although not all military kids did move around a lot. For the accuracy of the article it would be good to settle that issue, rather than to ignore it. She seems, for whatever reason to have a passion for international experience.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mary Doria Russell's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
