Talk:Marijohn Wilkin

Untitled

I made three edits, one stylistic that is probably contrary to Wikipedia style, one grammatical and one to finish a previous edit. I know that you can see them when you view the history but I thought I should explain why I made them.

The first was at the beginning on birthdate and death date. I am used to seeing only years for DOB & DOD in the headings of biographical articles if more complete information about a person's birth and death are given elsewhere. Her full DOD was at the bottom of the article so I moved her full DOB to follow her place of birth.

That led to my second edit. I put a verb into the "sentence" that opened the second paragraph and changed the colloquialism "brought up" to raised.

The third edit was the only one I intended to make when I first read the article. In the paragraph about Kris Kristofferson's sending his early material to Wilkin's publishing company the original article said, "So the aspiring songwriter sent . . ." which a later editor realized had a problem and meant to change to "So he sent . . ." (emphasis mine). Unfortunately for comprehension the editor only deleted the words "aspiring songwriter" so that the sentence began "So the he sent . . ." (I have a tendancy to do the same thing, someone else has to catch it because I miss it no matter how carefully I proofread and, yes, I hate it when I do it.). I deleted the superfluous "the".

I added a cite tag to the last edit for this article. If you are going to state something from a piece of literature, we need to have a cite and source for the addition. Please cite your source or consider reverting it back to the original verbiage. Junebug52 05:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
