Vandalized

This page has been vandalized.

For example, 1961 was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, not a book by Seymour Butts. Also there is no author named Claude Balls.

I am new to Wikipedia. Can someone make changes and protect this page?

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia, and good job for removing the vandalism. Because it was just one isolated incident, it wouldn't be wise to protect the page. Usually admins save article protection for very serious cases of repeated vandalizing. Next time, you can revert a person's edits by going through the history and clicking "undo." Also, don't forget to sign your comments next time! María: (habla ~ cosas) 12:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

María, could you explain this "undo" feature? It sounds a little like the rollback feature available only to administrators. KennyLucius 22:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it's very easy to do and it definitely comes in handy. If you click the History tab at the top of the page, you can click on any of the radio buttons (the circles) on the left-hand side and then click the button that says "Compare selected versions." The page will then compare two edits, one that says Revision as of such-and-such time (the earlier version) and Current version. Next to where it says Current version, you'll notice two links, one that says Edit and one that says Undo. When you click Undo, it'll literally undo the latest edit(s). Be very, very careful with this feature, however, because you may accidentally wipe out kosher edits with the vandalism. I'm not sure how it compares to the admin rollback feature, but I do know that any Joe or Jane can Undo edits.  :) Hope that helps, María (críticame) 00:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I never noticed that button before. It should come in handy :-) KennyLucius 14:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

American?

Shouldn't it be made clear if "American author" actually means US resident (or citizen, I don't know)? There is more to America than the United States! --212.51.246.226 09:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

In the common sense of the word, as used by the English speaking community, "American" refers to someone from the United States (however wrong it may be - trust me, I understand completely). In other languages this may not be the case. María (críticame) 12:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Pulitzer awarded since 1918

Comment moved here from misplaced post at Wikipedia talk:Talk page

The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction has been awarded since 1918---NOT 1948!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.208.15 (talk) September 25, 2009

Links for years need to be fixed

The link for each of the years leads to the previous year's "in literature" page (e.g., clicking on "1918" leads to "1917 in literature.") Does someone have a way of fixing this that doesn't involve manually doing each year?

Multiple prize winners excludes Alfred Knopf, twice winning the prize for the Rabbit series
