Shouldn't the Jessica Lynch biography be mentioned under controversy? Doesn't she dispute the accuracy of the book?[edit]

Does he deserve his own article?[edit]

One question prompted by his seemingly irremediable dishonesty and lack of professional ethics. -- User:200.142.114.24 20:00, 24 April 2007

As a Pulitzer Prize winner who has had more than a couple of books published (by actual publishing houses, rather than vanity presses), he does pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines; unfortunately for him, and whatever his other achievements, he will be remembered forevermore as a small footnote of the Jayson Blair scandal. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Restoration of info in controversy section[edit]

I restored some sourced information that was removed without an edit summary or comment here. I did find a statement from the editor who removed it (who then removed it in their next edit). In the statement the editor claims to be Rick Bragg's wife. She says that it should remain out of the article unless it can be substantiated. The quotes that she removed and she feels should be substantiated are directly out of a Washington Post article on Rick Bragg. This seems to me to be substantiation. So I have readded the information to the article. GB fan 12:37, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
