She might consider the fact that just because she doesn't like it doesn't make it unsuitable for Wikipedia; if she wants to put some positive press for balance (along with the extensive list of awards and praise already included...), why not do that? The fact of the matter is, the criticism will probably keep finding its way back into the article, not least because, in Ireland at least, her book ruffled the feathers of a fair number of people and this fact deserves observation, noted as it was in two prominent publications. More to the point, deleting the criticism firstly under the guise of 'The extended paragraph is not to do with Abbs career and is a personal view on one of her novels', secondly with 'Deleted misleading subjective content and added more recent information' and replacing it with the disingenuous and quite self-serving line 'The novel, which caused some controversy in Ireland where two reviewers objected to Abbs’ imaginative speculation...' (note the specifying of TWO to minimise the scale of the criticism, and calling her approach 'imaginative speculation' where the critical reviews plainly establish that, to many readers, such was insufficient to describe what they considered the very offensive nature of some of what Abbs presented in the book). </p><p>For the record: another clearly invested "contributor" attempted to remove the criticism under the following pretext "Libelous, originating only from a single source, irrelevant to this page and therefore inappropriate. Tantamount to vandalism of the page." The criticism is not libelous, having been published in national newspapers as indicated; did not originate from a "single source" (seriously, can you read?); is, in that it directly relates to a controversial book written by the article's subject that otherwise, per this article, would appear to have been nothing but lauded and honoured (unbalanced coverage, particularly- and very suspiciously- on an article with a professed COI involved), entirely relevant to the article; thus not at all inappropriate nor in any way representing "vandalism of the page". This is merely being recorded to indicate the unseemly extent of Abbs and her devotees' entirely inappropriate attempts to whitewash the feelings of Irish critics of her book. </p> <pre> <small class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.2.123.16" title="Special:Contributions/92.2.123.16">92.2.123.16</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:92.2.123.16#top" title="User talk:92.2.123.16">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Annabel_Abbs#c-92.2.123.16-2019-07-14T01:08:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-92.2.123.16-2019-07-14T01:08:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-07-14T01:08:00.000Z","author":"92.2.123.16","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-92.2.123.16-2019-07-14T01:08:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-92.2.123.16-2019-07-14T01:08:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism"></span> </pre> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-88.109.194.99-2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism"></span>Recently a lot of detail about Irish media response to Abbs's irresponsible handling of Lucia Joyce's life has again been removed, and looking at the contributor's history leads to a talk page message left on an IP user's page (that of a previous contributor here) thus: </p><p>Hiya, I just wanted to message regarding the Wikipedia page on Annabel Abbs. I wanted to know how we can resolve the issue at hand, endlessly editing the page back and forth ad infinitum is not a great solution. I have been tasked with maintaining the page in a way Annabel is happy with, and I want to know what parts of your edit you wish to be included. The main page is very brief in its content and does not give such a massive focus to any one topic in the way you are attempting to edit it to. I agree I was a bit brash last time simply deleting the entire section, but have restored it to a short section highlighting the issue and linking to the article at hand. Hopefully more to your liking. I just feel attacking her character in the way it was, is a bit overzealous. Hopefully we can come to a consensus. </p><p>Cheers! </p><p>Whilst this is perfectly polite, one must take issue with "I have been tasked with maintaining the page in a way Annabel is happy with"- Wikipedia isn't a promotional tool, and just because the author doesn't like what some people had to say about the book doesn't necessarily justify the removal of content pertaining thereto. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/88.109.194.99" title="Special:Contributions/88.109.194.99">88.109.194.99</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:88.109.194.99#top" title="User talk:88.109.194.99">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Annabel_Abbs#c-88.109.194.99-2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-88.109.194.99-2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z","author":"88.109.194.99","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-88.109.194.99-2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-88.109.194.99-2019-08-31T23:38:00.000Z-Annabel_Abbs_removing_perfectly_acceptable_criticism"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z-Unbalanced?&quot;,&quot;c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T17:05:00.000Z-Unbalanced?&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Unbalanced?&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Unbalanced?&quot;}--><h2 id="Unbalanced?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z"><span id="Unbalanced.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z"></span>Unbalanced?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Annabel_Abbs&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Unbalanced?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z","replies":["c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z-Unbalanced?","c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T17:05:00.000Z-Unbalanced?"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T17:05:00.000Z-Unbalanced?","timestamp":"2019-10-15T17:05:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__2__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Unbalanced?-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z-Unbalanced?&quot;,&quot;c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T17:05:00.000Z-Unbalanced?&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Unbalanced?&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Unbalanced?&quot;}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-92.2.115.184-2019-10-15T16:47:00.000Z-Unbalanced?"></span>Where's all the criticism of Abbs's book on Lucia Joyce gone?

Abbs and her representatives must understand that removal of sourced information specifically relating to her work- particularly in light of a lack of critical attention given to it, is unacceptable. The user has justified their attempts at removing the information thus: </p><p>"removed irrelevant information on the book of another author" (not at all irrelevant, John McCourt is an expert on Joyce and was a contributor to a published source from a respected publisher) </p><p>"removed malicious and irrelevant information, nothing to do with the life and career of the author. Personal vendettas should not be played out over wikipedia" (the information is neither malicious nor irrelevant, save in the mind of someone desirous of unilaterally presenting Abbs and her work positively; the only justification for the over-emotional presumption of a "personal vendetta" is that Wikipedia standards ought to be maintained, and an author not have carte blanche to have her agents repeatedly delete sourced information simply because she would rather it not be included, despite being entirely valid) </p><p>"Removed information nothing to do with author's career. Please keep to the facts and take up any personal concerns directly with the author or publisher" (the information is certainly "to do with author's career"; the information is taken directly from a published source and is therefore "factual" in that it directly presents what is given there with no extrapolation or interpretation added; "personal concern" only enters the equation with regard to the factor mentioned in the point above, viz. Abbs attempting to control her Wikipedia article in a very dishonest manner to hide any criticism. This is not the purpose of Wikipedia, and will not be permitted simply because Abbs demands it.) </p><p>In short: presenting every minor positive achievement but not allowing any balance in the article is impermissible. Wikipedia is not a promotional tool, and whether or not Abbs is "happy with" the article is immaterial. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/78.144.66.245" title="Special:Contributions/78.144.66.245">78.144.66.245</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:78.144.66.245#top" title="User talk:78.144.66.245">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Annabel_Abbs#c-78.144.66.245-2020-03-07T14:34:00.000Z-Recent_vandalism_of_the_article_by_Abbs's_team" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-78.144.66.245-2020-03-07T14:34:00.000Z-Recent_vandalism_of_the_article_by_Abbs's_team"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-07T14:34:00.000Z","author":"78.144.66.245","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-78.144.66.245-2020-03-07T14:34:00.000Z-Recent_vandalism_of_the_article_by_Abbs's_team","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-78.144.66.245-2020-03-07T14:34:00.000Z-Recent_vandalism_of_the_article_by_Abbs's_team"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Recent_edits" data-mw-thread-id="h-Recent_edits"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Recent_edits"></span>Recent edits<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Recent_edits"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Annabel_Abbs&amp;action=edit&amp;section=6" title="Edit section: Recent edits"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Recent_edits","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>Worth pointing out recent edits- most reverted- by user "JemimaSampson" are strongly indicative of being part of Abbs's "team"; all her edits- sandwiched between attempts at promotional/ tone-"improving" here- are to incorporate mention of "award-winning" or "acclaimed" author Annabel Abbs in other articles. </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐web.eqiad.main‐5dc468848‐kbrbs Cached time: 20241123171226 Cache expiry: 864000 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [vary‐revision‐sha1, show‐toc] DiscussionTools time usage: 0.026 seconds CPU time usage: 0.289 seconds Real time usage: 0.411 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 2187/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 44841/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 412/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 12/100 Expensive parser function count: 6/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 26870/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.160/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 3194604/52428800 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 313.845 1 -total 89.02% 279.397 1 Template:WikiProject_banner_shell 17.21% 54.007 1 Template:WikiProject_Biography 15.33% 48.108 1 Template:WikiProject_Women_writers 15.02% 47.151 1 Template:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation 13.06% 40.980 3 Template:Tmbox 9.84% 30.885 5 Template:User 7.48% 23.472 1 Template:Connected_contributor 6.28% 19.697 1 Template:Check_talk_wp 5.79% 18.171 1 Template:Category_handler --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:56101551-0!canonical and timestamp 20241123171226 and revision id 1204427788.
