New Sock Puppet, again, another BTW. Once I changed 'William Least Heat-Moon" to the correct 'William Least-Heat Moon', all references to him, or his book, suddenly turn red. I investigated this. It turns out that all references to him refer to an article that gets his name wrong. The correct name doesn't refer to anything. Your 'encyclopedia' SUCKS. If you can get something THIS BASIC wrong, then it is REASONABLE to conclude that NOTHING in your 'so-called' encyclopedia is at ALL reliable. |

I'm just reading Blue Highways and working on a Google Maps rendering of the journey - not sure how to add this to the entry Dikko 10:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I just made an extremely important edit to at least the first part of the article this 'Talk Page' is for. I am going back to look at the rest of the article, to finish the job. I may miss a few. Here's the nature of the edits:
His name is 'William LEAST-HEAT Moon' (look at the author's name on the book's cover!), not 'William LEAST HEAT-MOON' (the book cover puts the dash '-' in the right place). The 'middle name' is his 'native-american' name. Moon is his Anglo-style last name. This article, as written before my edit, put 'Heat-Moon' together, in the British-English aristocratic 'style' ('style' refers to aristocratic titles, q.v. the wikipedia articles about British Aristocratic 'Styles'), as though "Heat" is his mother's last name and she is the heir to a title, and "Moon" is his father's last name, and his father is also of the aristocratic class. WRONG!!!one!eleven!!
Also, there were some other misuses of the '-' character. Consult the 'New York Times Book of Style' for reference. I corrected them as I encountered them. I may have missed some, because whoever wrote/edited it did a whole heluva lot of errors on that point. I also may have done a few wrong. Oh well, everyone makes mistakes. If I EFF'd up, you correct it, correcting YOUR encyclopedia is not MY job.
BTW, here's my 'signature': 'New Sock Puppet' That's the username I made when I created a 'logon'. I first tried 'Sock Puppet', but that was refused. Some jack*** put a permanent block on 'New Sock Puppet' within 5 minutes of my making it, without ever giving a reason that I could find.
