DYK

[edit]

Created article on 2/11/08; finished first edit on 2/15. Trying to see if it's eligible for DYK. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 21:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiography vs. autobiographical novel

[edit]

This has never been an issue here, unlike MA's previous autobiography, but I'm making the changes here as well. See here for the justification. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization usage

[edit]

I have gone through this article and changed some capitalizations. The changes were inspired by User:Moni3, who copyedited Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas in anticipation of re-submitting that article for FAC. Instead of re-creating that discussion here, I refer you to it: [1] I have now done this for all MA articles I've worked on thus far (I say that because for the 4th of July weekend, it's my intention to start improving The Heart of a Woman), and will continue the practice in the future.

Time for Semi-protection??

[edit]

Lots of vandalism against this Article. Frequency and repetition of vandalism are striking. Should it be protected? Should the worst culprits be blocked? KUDOS to the editors working so diligently to clean it up & keep it available! — and to the many who've contributed to its creation and development!! 🙏🏼 Left Central (talk) 00:01, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
