Talk:Diane Carey

message: Honestly, most of this article reads like a POV rant about the author.  Unsourced criticisms are pretty prevalent.  The thing should be rewritten, or scrapped.  71.199.114.98 (talk) 03:28, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article POV

message: Why did someone take out all that arduous bibliographic research work I did on Diane Carey? I do see that the main article had one comment in it that was unverified and probably too fannish. (I really do like her work, which is why I went to the trouble to locate it all.) So, I have edited that one comment out, and replaced it with indisputable fact instead. But more importantly, I brought all of the bibliography sections back in. If I have made a mistake in doing so and the article needs to be stubbified again, please cite Wikipedia policy in a note here so that I understand why. Dan Quigley (talk) 05:17, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why Stubbified? 

message: One other comment: has there appeared somewhere news of what Diane Carey is doing these days? I have noticed her production has dropped off dramatically. That information would be a good addition to the main article. Dan Quigley (talk) 05:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anyone Have Recent Published Info? 

message: Hello, all.  I'm flattered to see myself on Wikipedia, and would like to thank you all for your entries and interest.  Just an update:  I took a few years off to do lots of overdue family and sailing activities, then wrote a large book for Beaumont Hospitals in Michigan, entitled, "Do You Have a Beaumont Doctor?"  Huron River Press, 2011.
I have two books coming up: the first will be "How to Help Stray Pets and Not Get Stuck," due later this year, and the second is an 1812-1814 novel based on true events, called "Banners."  That will be published next year, enhanced by the 200th anniversary of the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner.  
I have some photos that are updated, if Wikipedia would like some accurate, timely material.
Thank you again, and fair weather . . .

:::Thank you Diane. It's best to upload images at the Commons then they can be linked on this page. For licensing, it easiest if the images are taken and owned by you, rather than copied from ones in existing use on a website etc.  Span (talk) 18:11, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding content and updates 

message: There are two children's books listed here that are written by a Diane Carey, but it seems that it is a different author, according to this help desk question. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 20:13, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WorldCat shows them under the same author. I've tried looking up things under the Digger Publications, the publisher of the two books, but that's a dead end. I don't see what would be an appropriate resource to distinguish this since worldcat also says so. Are we at IAR?Naraht (talk) 21:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No need for IAR. WP:BURDEN is core policy.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: And I'm not sure how WP:BURDEN would apply, what sources could we find that would support removal? I believe the person posting in that it should be removed, I'm just not sure what else they can do?Naraht (talk) 11:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: @Naraht: If I understood your post, you're turning the policy on its head. When existing content is challenged, you need one or more reliable sources (cited using an inline citation) positively verifying keeping in the content. You never need a source to remove unsourced content. The burden is one direction; challenged material may be removed and the burden is on the person wishing to keep it to provide a source addressing the challenge. Here, that would be a reliable source that shows that this Diane Carey is the author of these children's books. I have challenged the unsourced material based on the statement we all saw that it is incorrect, and removed it; per said policy, it cannot be returned without sourcing.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:32, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
