Talk:Banned Books Week

message: *"Finding Censorship Where There Is None," by Mitchell Muncy, Wall Street Journal, 24 September 2009, p.W13.
This source already appears (currently) as footnote 15, but it is worth a look to see it is supports any other ideas people are developing. 
I see, for example, that he says:
And that is fully borne out exactly one year later by the ALA using Banned Books Week to label as censors every single one of hundreds petitioning the government for a redress of grievances: "2010 Banned Books Week - Top Ten Banned and Challenged Books for 2009," by American Library Association, OIFTube, 24 September 2010. 
This WSJ article is definitely worth another look. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 01:34, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It will take a while for me to process the new material you added, but I'll come up with a draft of the section to add and if you'll let me know what you think of it. Drrll (talk) 16:26, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Understood.  No rush to produce Wikiworthy material anyway.  Take your time.  Then, I'll look, provide suggestions, but given my COI, it'll be up to everyone else to see if they all approve. The ALA has said it will have a huge propaganda push for the 30th anniversary of BBW next September.  Let's make sure this page is rock solid so when the ALA editors arrive like they do on this and related pages, we as a community can stand together and ensure the page is not turned into another propaganda tool. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 16:36, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Okay Jessamyn. But the page could be improved.  Almost all pages could be improved, no?  You are an expert in this area--even quoted on the main page.  Why don't you think of ways to improve the article? The improvements could be in areas other than those I suggested. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Greetings; I've tagged the article for its excessive use of quotes. There are lengthy blockquotes as well as many "scare quoted" phrases herein, and this sort of usage should be minimized with paraphrasing to write a proper encyclopedic article.
