Your link additions

Please review Wikipedia:External links (the external links guideline). Blogs are often not appropriate, and I would suggest that you now first discuss on the talkpage (with waiting for consensus) before adding the link again (you may also want to review Wikipedia:Edit warring). Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 17:27, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

"Evanier is widely credited with starting the anti-Colletta movement in comics."

In an edit note, you comment that "Evanier is widely credited with starting the anti-Colletta movement in comics." If he is indeed "widely credited" with doing so, it should be easy to find some reliable, third party sources stating as such. Armed with such citations, adding a brief bit to his biography would be an excellent addition. You might even be able to use a specific post over at the Mentally Ill blog, although lots of Wikipedians will frown upon the use of a blog; it doesn't meet the "reliable" ideal. And we're going to need more than just that one guy bitching about it. — Alan De Smet | Talk 21:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I see you replied on my Talk page. I think Talk:Mark Evanier is the best place to continue to discussion, so I copied my comment above, and your reply, there. My apologies for not making my comment there originally. I didn't expect this to turn into a deeper discussion, so I just shot you a quick note. But a deeper discussion should probably be visible to anyone interested in editing the Mark Evanier article. Happy editing! — Alan De Smet | Talk 07:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I just saw your comment on my user page. I replied to the comment in question on January 7th, perhaps you overlooked it. Also, it's discouraged to modify another user's page, as opposed to using their talk page. It's easier to overlook (Wikipedia's "You have new messages" functionality only work on the talk page). Also, in the process you accidentally deleted some content I really wanted to keep. Fortunately it was just a quick undo. Anyway, if you want to continue discussing the Mark Evanier article, I'm happy to. If I overlook a post (a rather annoying bug is making tracking articles more difficult), please feel free to give me a poke at my talk page. Happy editing! — Alan De Smet | Talk 21:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
