Response to User:DGG

I am not a PR person -- most of my professional background is in writing features for magazines and newspapers, particularly profiles where one uses direct quotes as a matter of course--as support, to give a flavor of the individual, etc. Nor am I compensated in any way for either of the entries you cite -- both Ravenel and Livesey are former teachers of mine from decades ago (roughly 40 and 30 years ago, respectively) and I thought both merited up-to-date bios; I was particularly surprised that Ravenel did not already have a bio, as she has been a significant figure in publishing for decades, especially beginning in the mid-1980s after she co-founded Algonquin with Louis D. Rubin Jr.. I will revise these entries, deleting the direct quotes and making a note that they are my former teachers from long ago; I will also reduce the number of other names I cite in the Ravenel entry -- I believe I need to cite a few, however, as she is an editor: I thought mentioning some of the writers she worked with would give readers a sense of who she was and why she merited inclusion in Wikipedia. I think her association with Best American Short Stories could stand without mentioning the annual editors, but talking about her work at Houghton Mifflin and Algonquin needs the names of some of the writers whose work she acquired and edited, I think. Thanks for your comments. Joewriter (talk) 14:02, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Fine Of course I accept your assurances. . .Go ahead and make the changes. If you list her authors, pick only the most famous, be sure she i s the person's principal editor for at least part of their career, and mentioned as such in bio sources about the author . You canask me for a quick revieww whenyou;ve done that. DGG ( talk ) 16:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I am on deadline for something but will tackle this in a couple of days. Appreciate your offer of a quick review and I will let you know as soon as I finish. Joewriter
