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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.48.43 (talk) 18:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

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]

Bibliography

Very odd that the bibliography section is just a link to separate wiki entry that is just a table of the books she wrote. Why does it need to be on a separate wiki? Shouldn't the two be combined? Or is it the standard template for authors? --71.121.14.132 (talk) 21:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

It made me sad to see Judy Blume's entry looking so crap so I've done my best to help...I deleted quite a bit of information from the 'Career' section as it was very un-encylopaedic, so this could probably be added to a lot. I also added a 'Censorship' heading as I felt this was a significant enough area to warrant its own section, but it still needs loads of work on references and style I reckon. But overall, an improvement, I think? RhiannonAmelie (talk) 22:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Link

The link for the ALA most banned books in 1996 is broken. I propose we erase it and replace it with http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/frequentlychallenged/challengedbydecade/1990_1999/index.cfm or http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/frequentlychallenged/challengedbydecade/1990_2000.cfm.
