Talk:Leora Auslander

message: Auslander holds a significant chair in French History at the University of Chicago, and it is critical to understand her own biography in order to assess her work. Dandy Cephalopod 00:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This article, particularly in its early incarnations with lengthy quotes from its subject and great biographical detail, gives the impression that it is autobiographical.  Can the author confirm or deny this?  In the case the author is not Leora Auslander, can he/she provide the source(s) for these quotes?  Autobiographies are highly frowned upon here, viz.

replies: text: I assure you I am not Leora Auslander.  This is not autobiography.  Dandy Cephalopod 14:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, but you do seem to have greater knowledge of this person than is publicly available.  I'll remind you of WP:NPOV and wish you happy editing.  --RandomHumanoid(⇒) 14:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  The information was gleaned from her website, publicly available web pages relating to her career, her CV, and her book.   I have included nothing that is not public.  I am especially interested in academics who work in the areas of gender and sexuality.  Dandy Cephalopod 18:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is time to remove the 'find sources' tag/flag - the info is now cited. Behemothing (talk) 01:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  This article is definitely not "autobiographical".  I am a friend of the subject, who did not even know who created this article.  (It wasn't I, either.  Perhaps U of Chicago's PR staff did it.)  I myself do not know Dandy Cephalopod, but agree that the info in this article, plus more, is publicly available, including from the forward to the subject's book, Taste and Power.
