That was not test. I placed text under the wrong magazine and needed to move it. Not sure why you reverted it back to the incorrect text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lishian (talk • contribs) 05:07, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Gordon Lish

Hi, thanks so much for your extensive work on the Gordon Lish article, a subject you clearly are intimately familiar with. The edits that myself and other users have done are attempts to bring the article up to Wikipedia's quality standards, not to introduce false information or present a false picture of the subject. As it stands, your preferred version is extremely long and features what other users might consider to be an excess of unnecessary detail. I am reverting back to the previous version for now, and I'm wondering if you would consider working to add necessary detail to that, in addition to correcting what might be factual errors, rather than reverting to the longer version. While your attention and devotion to the subject is excellent (and is, of course, how articles get created), it might lead to losing the forest for the trees, so to speak. Please feel free to comment on the talk page regarding this. Thanks!--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 16:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
