Plagarism accusation

removed statement: "Did you know that one of her best selling books (Double Fudge), was accused of plagarisn." The statement is uncited and should be added to a different subsection of the article. Additionally, I did several searches for this accusation and couldn't find record of it (not that this means an accusation doesn't exist, but I merely can't find it). Further, an accusation is completely different from fact. I would think if a serious accusation was made and taken to court, a famous author like Blume would have made a vigorous defense.

That's sensible enough. It was probably vandalism anyway (it was done by an anonymous author, which most vandals are). -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 19:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

inappropriately stated comment

"Blume is Jewish" may be correct but it shouldnt be a paragraph of it's own. I removed it.

Someone seems to be adding a lot of "___ is Jewish" in awkward places in articles. It's a wonderful thing, sure, but can we come up with a more standardized way to express someone's ethnic and religious affiliations in the opening bit of the article?

Question?

"at one time a regular target" of censors? Several of her books are still among the most often banned ... If no one has a strong opinion, I think I'll take out the "at one time".

Also - and this is probably a question of opinion - but I never thought of her books as specifically feminist (no more than expected of any modern female author). Does she really belong in "feminist authors" category?

Add Bio?

Add somewhat of a rough Bio? Other authors seem to have it. There you can mention the Jewish bits, etc. --Hitsuji Kinno 07:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
