replies: text: Jim Duffy is the author of numerous articles but no published books (yet). Jonathunder 07:44, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Author of what? 

message: Duffy is clearly well known enough to be the subject of an article anyway so does it matter whether or not he is also editing,if he is? Zymurgy 08:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My personal feeling is that it doesn't matter; he just needs to be especially rigorous in citing anything he adds or changes. But the widespread view is that an article subject should definitely not edit an article. Everyking 12:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a well established principle in Wikipedia that people don't edit their own biographies. Jimmy Wales got into trouble over it, so did Michael Everson, and I'm sure there are many more. 213.94.241.138 14:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Does it matter?

message: As this man is more widely known as a journalist or historian than an author, surely he should be called Jim Duffy (journalist) or Jim Duffy (historian)? In the future his books may be more famous than his journalism, but right now it is his journalism that is more famous. How does Wikipedia rename articles? This one should be renamed. 213.202.131.130 23:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Without wishing to embarrass JTD in any way, I propose to move this article to Jim Duffy (journalist). Jim Duffy has a long and respected career as a journalist, and that is beyond dispute. While he may have written books, he doesn't seem to have published any, and I find the article title misleading, mainly because there seem to be several existing authors by that name, as found on Google. --Pete 02:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good move. There seem to be a lot of Jim Duffys according to Google, including soccer managers, senior civil servants, authors and others. This guy is known widely as a journalist so it is the right name to have this article under. 83.71.17.35 17:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
