PS: I'm reviewing your edits to Mark Rudd, but there are some problems with them. Using an "unidentified author" as a principle source is worrisome. Is that really the best source available? Another problem is that the tone is less than encyclopedic. Perhaps it would be better to revert to the prior version and improve it, rather than to throw it out and start over. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Because of the loss of end material, internal links, and the reasons above, I've reverted your edit. Please consider using the existing article as a starting point and improving upon it. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 03:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Editing and categories

If you go on to blackboard you can obtain the book weatherman. The editor is Harold Jacobs. On page 276 it talks about Mark Rudd and Ted Gold's relationship and multiple things they did at Columbia together. Its worth checking out.Grageo (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

It's OK to work on the article itself, you don't need to use your userpage as a drafting page. But you can if you want to, especially while you're still getting the hang of things. I deactivated the categories at the end, because those are article categories not userpage categories. Betcha didn't know there was more than one kind! Also, you might want to read a few good biographies of other people on Wikipedia to get a better sense of how things are done. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
