[edit] Book Review

Someone is insisting on putting a review of my book on wikipedia in violation of the rules. This isn't meant to be space for review or commentary. It is merely FACTS about my life. I keep deleting it and it gets reverted. Whoever is doing this I kindly ask you to stop. It is extremely irritating. I don't see book reviews on other authors memoirs. If I am wrong please show me an author who has had their book bascially excerpted on wikipedia. If this is a problem I would like to request my entry be deleted in its entirety. Additionally I was born in 1968. Thank you. Carole Radziwill —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gigimadison (talk • contribs).

Your massive deletions of article content were unaccompanied by explaination, and the reverts clearly stated that this was the reason the material was being re-instated. The difficulty here is that the content of your memoir also happened to constitute the facts of your life, and it is normal and appropriate for those facts, re-written, to be inclued in a Wiki bio. That bio is not a review of your writing, but a summary of those portions of your life which justify Wiki including your bio and are likely to interest Wiki readers seeking information about the author, the Bouviers, or the Kennedys. That said, I did not intend to include information in the article that you would rather not be included, although such information may be included if noteworthy and written to Wiki's standards: Wiki bios on authors frequently discuss the content and impact of their published works. Moreover, I have no way of knowing whether you are who you say you are. But Wiki's practice on bios of living persons is clear: "The Arbitration Committee has ruled in favor of showing leniency to the subjects of biographies who try to remove what they see as errors or unfair material:". In deference to that policy, I am reverting my deletion thereby leaving out what you excised. I sincerely apologize if I have in any way caused you any discomfort or distress: I very much enjoyed the book, admired its protagonist, and wish you well. Lethiere 02:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Polish American

The article is tagged under a list of "Polish Americans". Although one could certainly label her late husband as Polish-American, is Ms. Radziwill herself of Polish-American extraction? Knowing nothing of her beyond what is in the wikipedia article, if indeed her maiden name is "Di Falco" this would seem to indicate Italian- American heritage.
