Your edits to Merle Miller

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks very much for your hard work and your contributions to the Merle Miller article.

I'm posting here because I'm concerned about the major changes you recently made to the article on Merle Miller. I have two specific concerns.

First, our copyright policy is quite strict: we can't use long passages from previously published works without proper permissions. It often happens that new editors, not being aware of this policy, insert large stretches of text copied from books or other sources. Did you really write all the new text yourself? Or do you have permission to republish it in Wikipedia? (Details of the policy are on this page.)

Second, you eliminated all the old material from the article; some of this was valuable. For example, there have been allegations that Miller fabricated some of the material in Plain Speaking. Our article used to discuss it, but you eliminated that discussion. You are normally supposed to discuss such large changes on the article's "talk" page before doing them, particularly when the material you are removing is cited to a reliable source, as this was.

Please come to the talk page to discuss these matters with me and the other editors.

Thanks again for your participation. I'm sure that with your help we can work together to improve the article. —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
