Helping Wikipedia keep current
I was over at the Wikipedia page for the famous public person, Rod Dreher, and I noted that the article was woefully behind the times. Since it is a locked article, I could not edit it myself, so I did the next best thing and left a helpful criticism on the "Talk page". It reads as follows:
Incomplete / out-of-date
The article states that the subject is a past contributor to the American Conservative, but he is now a full time blogger at that web publication.
The manner and order in which this article is written makes it seem like the most significant thing the subject has done is to leave the Roman Catholic church and criticize that church for abuse of children by homosexual clergy members. I am not sure the subject would agree with this characterization.
The article doesn't mention the subject's newest book, The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, either. This was written about the author's dead sister. Instead it mentions a proposed book titled The Benedict option which has not been written yet.
Of course, we have numerous sources to see absolute everything that is going on with the subject including his wonderful TAC blog, our own articles here at Est Quod Est and Topix, not to mention the Bonnie Blue Review. I'd think that his new publisher would at least want to update his Wikipedia page with the info about The Little Way of Ruthie Leming: A Southern Girl, a Small Town, and the Secret of a Good Life. But maybe they know that people who look up things on Wikipedia don't read books like that. If you give an author a million dollar advance to write a book you obviously know your business better than I do.
