Our Logo[edit]

We changed our logo about 7 years ago but the wrong one is still showing up on our wiki page.

How do we change it?

Mystery Writers Guild of America?[edit]

Is this the same organisation as the Mystery Writers Guild of America? I wish to add some information about Arthur Upfield being admitted as the first non-American full member of the Guild, in 1958, but I can find no verification that these are the same bodies, or anything about the Guild at all. What I have on Upfield is:

... he was and still is, as far as I know, the only foreigner to be admitted as a full member of the Mystery Writers’ Guild of America. Late in 1962, he showed me proudly a set of cuff-links bearing the M.W.G. insignia, which had just been sent to him as a tribute to his contribution as a mystery writer. He was truly touched by this and he told me again of his ambition to be able to accept their invitation to the annual banquet of the Guild. He was never able to do so.

(from ARTHUR UPFIELD: AN EPITAPH PAMELA RUSKIN, in Investigating Arthur Upfield: A Centenary Collection of Critical Essays, ed. Kees de Hoog and Carol Hetherington).

This occurred in 1958

(Sold by the Millions: Australia’s Bestsellers, ed. Toni Johnson-Woods, Amit Sarwal, p. 7)

Any assistance greatly appreciated. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 08:32, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
