Merger

The books Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic are quite fully summarized here, and what little additional information those articles contain can easily be woven into this article. Thoughts, comments? JohnInDC (talk) 14:22, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm. JohnInDC (talk) 14:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's only been a couple of days but few editors seem interested in these pages generally, plus the merger verges on trivial I'm merging Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm for starters. JohnInDC (talk) 18:20, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. JohnInDC (talk) 16:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All three now done. JohnInDC (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent addition of improper unsourced trivia

The Betty MacDonald related pages, including this one, have been plagued by the persistent addition by various single-purpose accounts of material describing "interviews" conducted of MacDonald's sister by a purported journalist by the name of Wolfgang Hampel. The material is not properly included in this or in any of the articles for several reasons. First, it doesn't actually add anything - just that the sister told "entertaining stories". Second, it's tangential to the subject matter of any of these articles. Third, Wolfgang Hampel - whoever he is - does not appear to be a reliable source. Finally, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the material is being included simply to hawk the CD/DVD on which these purported interviews were included. (This entry has frequently been accompanied by links to commercial fansites.) Being trivial, tangential, unreliably sourced and for apparent commercial purposes, these edits are inappropriate and editors may expect that other editors or I will be removing them on sight - and any editor who attempts to force their inclusion risks being blocked.
