::::My apologies. But seriously, adding encyclopaedic content to an article does not constitute "puffing it up". The old version seemed to me to be relatively free of bias.--[[User:JZim|JZim]] 16:27, 22 November 2008 (EST)

:::::Rice's conversion appears to be a marketing move, half-hearted at best, seeking to sell novels to a wider audience while garnering attention. The last thing we should be doing is advertising her through a needlessly lengthly article, in my humble opinion. [[User:RodWeathers|RodWeathers]] 16:37, 22 November 2008 (EST)

::::::Unsurprisingly, considering that I wrote large sections of this article, I have to agree with JZim. Ed, why did you delete practically the entire article? I will at least restore the stuff I wrote since it was sourced and factual (I had witnessed the clash on Amazon live back then - it was fun, in a weird sense). And there are lots of sources about her faith and conversion, so why did you delete those sections? With your permission, I'd like to revert your edits with the promise to find more sources and flesh it out. I'm no fan of Rice myself (she became famous for novels she later openly left behind, and I seriously doubt that her Christianity-related books would have become so famous without her Vampire Chronicles fanbase, so I also agree with Rod to a degree), but I won't let personal opinion influence me writing a factual article. --[[User:AlanS|AlanS]] 16:39, 22 November 2008 (EST)
