::::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)

::::::Anne Rice announced she was burying (no pun intended) Lestat forever and had absolutely no desire to ever write another vampire book. Since when does one go from a lucrative movie and book franchise to taking a chance on Christian novels if their goal is to boost sales?

Thanks for your support, Rod, but we can't make unfounded accusations. Do you have any information to back up your conjecture that she "only made the statement to boost sales"? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup>

:Where was she cited by the Catholic Church? I didn't notice it when I looked at the article. Perhaps a more prominent placement of the citation was warranted? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 20:56, 22 November 2008 (EST)

::Ed you goofed in blanking this article. It was well written, and monitored, by one of our strongest contributors. We are sysops, therefore we should be the ones to protect and nurture our quality editors. They're the front lines who will propel this site. By being in positions of authority, we are servants. Whether or not you like her, she has had a fascinating life -- and rebirth. Her recent works are villified now precisely because the darkness she fed on for so many years isn't in her stories any longer. We should be the first ones writing about her. Isn't this exactly what Andy likes to see? [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 21:01, 22 November 2008 (EST)
:He's right. It's our responsibility to treat our valued editors with respect. That was not respectful. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 21:01, 22 November 2008 (EST)
