[edit] Note to other editors of this page

On March 21st, 2006, I removed a massive addition to this page that I found to be a direct copyright violation. [1] Following this, I received a message on my talk page that read the following:

Hi Eric, I am Director of Publishing and Merchandising for Eric Carle and I am authorized to grant non-exclusive right for Wikipedia to display the Biographic information from the Official Eric Carle Web site (with some additional information.) Therefore, we request that Wikipedia and its users accept the entry that I submitted on March 21st at 20:30. Thank you, Motoko Inoue 71.195.210.95 21:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Based on this, I have restored the information on the page. [2] I have also respectfully requested that Mr. Inoue contact the Wikimedia Foundation to formally release the content to Wikipedia. (For my messages to him, please see User talk:71.195.210.95.) Hopefully this will be carried out. In the meantime, I will attempt to wikify the page and perhaps do some editing of it.

Regardless of what his publisher says, there needs to be sources. This is not an advertising site for the author or the publisher. 199.175.128.1 23:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance scale

I'm going through some WikiProject Children's literature articles and I noticed that this article was rated High importance. However, I think that it should be Top importance, as Eric Carle is a very notable and influential author/illustrator. Any comments? Mr. Absurd (talk) 04:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
