Hello, TruthTeller2! In case you haven't noticed, we were discussing some of your edits to the Laura Hale page here. Basically, we only want to report on Laura's activities in relation to fandom, and it's not clear how some of your additions relate. Feel free to use the talk page to discuss further.--æþel 23:45, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. I don't log in frequently. I would be happy to work with you on wording. I believe that Laura Hale was unhappy with Erik Moeller regarding the negotiation to sell the wiki to the WMF, and that was why she publicly denounced him as sexist on a number of fora, including the Fan History Blog. I understand that in general, Wikipedia is not a fan site. However, Laura Hale is traveling to give seminars in a number of locations (most recently New Zealand) to explain to sports fans that they should set up wikis and use Wikipedia to publicize their sports. There is a large tension between what Laura Hale is advocating and general Wikipedia policies. But that does not stop her from trying to cash in on her fandom experiences vis a vis Wikipedia.
