{{helpme}} I am a newbie. Another editor recently said I had a "meat puppet agenda" and used "weasel words." Where can I find definitions of these words in Wikipedia? Is there a glossary? Thank you, Tammi95 (talk) 18:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)Tammi95

Yes, at WP:GLOSSARY. However, both of those are covered in more detail at WP:MEAT and WP:WEASEL. I should warn you it wasn't meant as a compliment. :-( Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Dare Wright Biorgraphy Section

Writers have lives. Children's book writers have lives. The lives of anyone of note contains tragedies and contradictions. Roald Dahl for example wrote Willy Wonka etc. and still had tragedy and controversy in his life. I add background to Dare Wright because she was human, y'all! H-u-m-a-n. And because Wikipedia is about documenting all of a person not just the nicey-nice parts. Like Dahl's section on controversy I use the one published biography of Wright that has alot of documentation. I feel we owe her and Wikipedia readers that. Tammi95 (talk) 15:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC) P.S. Even JFK's section has documentations of his affairs as well as his good deeds. H-u-m-a-n. Is there a Wikipedia term for someone who keeps editing sections to make people saints? Tammi95 (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The Lonely Doll Controversy

Okay, y'all. According to Wikipedia, "Meatpuppetry is the use of editors as proxies to sway consensus. While Wikipedia assumes good faith, especially for new users." I am a fairly new user, I like people to tell the whole story. There is no consensus here to sway. Facts are facts. And Lonely Doll like its author has its documented controversy. This is interesting. This is fact. So let us stop name-calling and embrace the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Tammi95 (talk) 15:32, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The Lonely Doll Controversy, Part II

I have repeatedly inserted this controversy section only to have it deleted for reasons that I cannot fathom unless it is done by someone with something to gain by deleting it. Thus I call on Wikipedia precedent in other entries about popular and/or award-winning children's story/picture books in which a controversy section is included: In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak and The Lorax by Dr. Suess. Here are Wikipedia entries for Children's Books where controversy is mentioned in text: And Tango Makes Three by Peter Parnell and The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. The historical and cultural contexts in which these books were published and, yes, reissued are part of their stories. And that includes The Lonely Doll.
