message: Is there any good reason why we have an entire section dedicated to the novels of Westlake?  Would anyone really miss this if it were removed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by NinjaRobotPirate (talk • contribs) 17:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Followed through and deleted the "in popular culture" section, as it was entirely pointless and added nothing to the encyclopedic content.  If you re-add it, please document some kind of notability for Westlake's portrayal of fences.  For example, if you can find some kind of academic mention of how Westlake's views on fences caused a general shift in their portrayal in crime fiction, that would definitely be worth adding.  Otherwise, it comes across as some over-eager fanboy/fangirl pimping their favorite author, in tangentially-related articles.  NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Popular Culture 

message: Hello there, I am a student of Ca'Foscari University of Venice, and I have been assigned the improvement of this article as part of my English Culture exam (XVIII century). In particular I have been assigned some paragraphs about history of receiving of Fence, and some link to famous criminals like Jonathan Wild, who operated in this field. Here's a draft of my list of references:
*  Old Bailey online;
*  T. Hitchcock, B. Shoemaker, Tales from the Hanging Court (my course book);
*  J.M. Beattie, Policing and Punishment in London, 1660-1750: Urban Crime and the Limits of Terror, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2001, 491 pp., .
Needless to say, any advice is welcome.

thread_title:  History of receiving 

message: I think that you might want to add some examples in the section about Moll Flanders, like episodes that happen in the story and that you might want to quote to show the readers what you are talking about.
