Lawrence R. Dagstine
Tiberius, I've put your three submissions on hold for the time being, but I will certainly have to reject at least your two title merges of many of Lawrence R. Dagstine's stories. I do not know what you are attempting to do here, but on the face of it it would considerably alter/damage this author's bibliography. Also, re. your author update, what is your rationale behind altering this author's name to "Lar Dogswine"? If you are serious about these edits and wish to learn how to do it properly, please first refer to the Help pages Merging Titles and Author Data. Thank you. PeteYoung 20:37, 13 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Obvious troll. There's a group of people out there with a strong dislike of Dagstine (not sure why) who spend way too much time actively nursing it.  I wouldn't waste too much time "instructing" this person, Pete.  Dwarzel 15:16, 14 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Noted, but I've sent an e-mail inviting further comment and I don't really expect a reply. I've rejected the edits, anyhow. Thanks for the input. PeteYoung 19:24, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I have emailed you a response / explanation and apology.

Tiberius


 * Thanks, I've received it, and thanks for being up front about your purpose, which I must say I didn't expect. Needless to say, moderators exist here to prevent edits that result in inaccurate bibliography, which is what this site tries to avoid (although we're not perfect). Re. your question about "professional" authors only being present here (which you say Dagstine isn't), being a 'professional' author is not a consideration, and we probably have thousands of 'non-professionals' in the database as well. The publication and the content is the thing, not the author's primary source of income. Anyway, thanks again for replying. PeteYoung 12:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
